The Hollow Tracks. Dr. Eva Thompson, #2

When hikers are found murdered in remote huts deep in Tasmania's central highlands, forensic pathologist Dr Eva Thompson is flown into a landscape that swallows evidence as quickly as it reveals it. Each victim is staged with unnerving precision. Each scene is colder, cleaner, and more controlled than the last. And as Detective Dan Keenan races to keep up, Eva begins to see the pattern-one shaped not by rage, but by rules.
Old rules. Bush rules. Rules taught in isolation. With storms closing in and the killer moving faster than any search team can track, Eva must read the land itself to predict his next move. Because in the high country, the wilderness chooses who is found-and who isn't. A tense, atmospheric forensic thriller set in Tasmania's unforgiving interior in a short story format.
