(2025)(The sixth book in the Australian Outback Thriller series)
A novel by Phillip Strang
In the shadow of Queensland’s Glasshouse Mountains, Detective Jack Mercer discovers a body hidden for seven years.
What begins as a routine investigation into a disgraced astronomer’s death quickly spirals into a conspiracy involving defence contractors, classified satellites, and technology that shouldn’t exist.
When a journalist dies hours before meeting him, Mercer realises powerful forces will kill to keep their secrets buried. Federal authorities move to shut him down, evidence disappears, and every witness becomes a target.
Mercer must rely on instinct and grit to survive a case where truth threatens billion-dollar contracts and government credibility. But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous it becomes—because some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Fans of atmospheric crime fiction and high-stakes thrillers will be hooked until the final page.
