Dead Heat

Award winning thriller writer Caroline Carver's follow-up to 'Blood Junction' - a 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 a plane crash she finds herself back there, struggling to comprehend a sinister fact - the plane was sabotaged.

Was it someone hoping to kill Ronnie Chen, the man who never turned up to take the flight? Or is it 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's search for the truth plunges her into a harsh and unforgiving landscape, across oceans and into crocodile-infested swamps. There, unable to trust anyone, she discovers that more than just her own life is at stake.

Evocative, violent and shocking, 'Dead Heat' is a fast and terrifying journey into the heart of one of the wildest places on earth. Don't go there without your insect repellant!
