Kate Hayes Mysteries: Books 1-6
(2025)(A book in the Kate Hayes Australian Outback Thriller series)
An omnibus of novels by Phillip Strang
Over 120,000 words of Australian crime thriller brilliance. The complete Kate Hayes journey—six books, six years, one detective who refuses to let corruption win.
For fans of Jane Harper, Tana French, and C.J. Box.
In the unforgiving Australian outback, Detective Kate Hayes discovers a truth that will destroy her career: Protocol Seven, a government surveillance programme designed to eliminate threats and silence whistleblowers.
Exposing it costs her everything. But Kate doesn't stop.
This complete six-book series follows Kate's relentless pursuit of justice through:
THE RED DESERT - Protocol Seven exposed. Kate demoted, discredited, nearly destroyed.
THE DARK MINE - Mining corruption in the Flinders Ranges. Some secrets are buried for a reason.
THE BONE COUNTRY - Historical crimes resurface. The past demands accountability.
THE SALT LAKES - Environmental cover-up at Lake Eyre. Corporate power meets institutional complicity.
THE SILENT HILLS - Weapons testing scandal revealed. Forty-three deaths. Fifteen years of lies.
THE ARCHITECT - The conspiracy beneath everything. Dr Richard Vaughn designed thirty years of corruption. Now he faces justice.
From Detective Sergeant to Superintendent to private investigator, Kate sacrifices career, relationships, and safety to hold powerful people accountable. Each investigation exposes deeper corruption. Each victory costs more than the last.
But justice, however imperfect and costly, is always worth pursuing.
Set against the stark beauty of South Australia—red deserts, abandoned mines, crystalline salt lakes—this series combines atmospheric crime fiction with explosive conspiracy thrillers and a protagonist who proves that one determined investigator can change everything.
The complete Kate Hayes Mysteries. Six books. One unforgettable journey. Justice in the bone country.
