After a scandal, investigative reporter Zara Ellison and her partner, policeman Jack Higgins, have moved to Kalgoorlie from South Australia but they are each struggling with this fresh start. Zara is finding it difficult without sources or any leads for the hard-hitting stories she is known for. Jack is out of the detective squad and trying to find his feet back in uniform. On an isolated stretch of highway, a devastating accident leaves more questions than answers. Zara starts digging for her own kind of gold, while Jack’s investigation sends him on a parallel path towards a dangerous smuggling ring. This town has its own rules, and its inhabitants drawn by the lure of gold and riches guard their secrets carefully.
This is a gripping rural crime, with interesting and believable characters.
