Dead Heat

From the critically acclaimed author of Blood Junction and the winner of the Crime Writers' Association's New Writers Award, Dead Heat is a fast and terrifying journey into the heart of one of the wildest places on earth. Georgia Parish never regretted leaving Nulgarra, northern Queensland, to pursue her career. She didn't miss the oppressive heat, the wet, the bugs, the deadly wilderness. But after surviving a plane crash, she finds herself back there, struggling to comprehend the sinister fact that the plane she was on was sabotaged. Was it someone hoping to kill Ronnie Chen, the man who never turned up to take the flight? Or did it have something to do with the two other strange passengers--unfriendly but heroic Lee Denham, and his frightened companion Suzy? After all, nobody could have a reason to want Georgia dead....Georgia' search for the truth plunges her into a harsh an unforgiving landscape, across oceans and into crocodile-infested swamps. There, unable to trust anyone, she discovers more than just her own life is at stake.
