Unearthed - Book Five.

She thinks it's all behind her, that she and photographer Steve can start a serene new life together, now that her nemesis the manic killer Martin Barclay is dead. Wrong! It only takes two phone calls to shatter journalist Annie Bryce's illusions.

She's plagued by nightmares after a call from the English detective on the Barclay case. He desperately needs her help to find his daughter, who has gone missing in Australia. Annie's home country. When a minor research job suddenly turns toxic, Annie is mired in a maze of old crimes and new conundrums as she heads into Australia's outback with Inspector Harold Mason to follow a tenuous lead to his daughter – and get out of the way of danger, once again.

At the world famous dinosaur digs in western Queensland the quest for prehistoric fossils interweaves with the search for the girl, and for the shocking truth about that toxic research.

Violence erupts after secrets buried deep in history are finally unearthed. How far will Annie go to reclaim the serenity she craves?

This is the fifth and last of the Annie Bryce Mysteries.

One critic's verdict: A cracker of a read!
