Degrees of Retribution
(2025)(The third book in the Detective Inspector Stratton mystery series)
A novel by S J Thiessen
When Kori Dirks returns to her idyllic childhood town in Northern Tasmania with her partner, life seems perfect. In the historic farming hub of Longford, they restore a heritage home, celebrate her promotion, and plan for their future. But when Kori is found dead, apparently by suicide, her death is both shocking and inexplicable.
The community grieves but begins to move on—until her partner, Renee, is discovered murdered beneath a disused rail bridge by Mill Dam. A cryptic poem left at the scene hints at a chilling pattern, but the motive behind Renee’s death remains elusive.
Detective Inspector Terry Stratton and his team arrive to investigate, uncovering grudges and buried secrets beneath Longford's tranquil exterior. As they piece together the fragments, a sinister pattern takes shape, and the killer strikes again. With more lives in peril and the safety of his team at risk, Stratton races to unravel the truth before the killer exacts their ultimate retribution.
