White Ash Ridge - 'A rising star of Australian crime fiction' SUNDAY TIMES - E-book - ePub

A REMOTE HOTEL. FIVE GUESTS. ONE MURDER. 'A rising star of Australian crime fiction ' SUNDAY TIMES 'S. R. White is the real deal.' CHRIS HAMMER, author of SCRUBLANDS During a broiling heatwave, the inner circle of a high-profile charity attend a critical meeting at White Ash Ridge, a small hotel nestled in the Australian wilderness. As the temperature rises, a body is found lying in the thick bush, bludgeoned to death.
One of the four remaining guests is a murderer - but who, and why, is a mystery. Detective Dana Russo knows the national spotlight will be sharply focused on the case. The charity was formed when the founders' teenage son was killed after intervening in a vicious assault - sparking public outrage and a damning verdict on the police investigation. But under huge pressure and with few clues - plus suspects who instinctively distrust the police - how can Dana unravel the truth? Praise for S.
