The Maya Thorne Australian Outback Series: Books 1-6
(2025)(A book in the Maya Thorne Australian Outback Thriller series)
An omnibus of novels by Phillip Strang
In the harsh Australian outback, buried secrets don't stay hidden forever.
Detective Maya Thorne thought she'd left the dust and disappointments of Warragulla behind when she fled at seventeen. But the remote outback town keeps pulling her back, first reluctantly, then permanently. Environmental extremes unearth both human remains and the town's deeply buried secrets.
Set against the unforgiving backdrop of rural Australia, the Maya Thorne Mysteries blend methodical police procedural with character-driven noir, where justice may be served, but the harsh landscape remains indifferent to human drama. As Maya navigates the complex relationships of a community where everyone knows everyone's business, including her estranged family, she discovers that in Warragulla, the truth is as scarce as water and just as precious.
Follow Detective Thorne as she investigates murders revealed by drought, flood, extreme heat, bushfire, and dust storms—crimes where the outback itself becomes both witness and accomplice. With each case, Maya comes closer to reconciling with her past while confronting the reality that in small towns, old grievances never truly die—they wait for the right conditions to resurface.
Genre: Mystery
