In the 10th Birder Murder Mystery, demons from the past await Jejeune down under ...
DCI Domenic Jejeune visits DCS Colleen Shepherd in Australia to discuss his future. Or so he tells his partner, Lindy Hey. Drawn into a case involving Lindy’s nemesis, Ray Hayes, Jejeune becomes torn between upholding the law and protecting Lindy from harm.
Back in Norfolk, the murder of the CEO of a lithium battery manufacturer sets Sergeant Danny Maik on a collision course with Jejeune. Maik’s investigations into the company’s ties to an Australian mining operation mean that success for either detective can be achieved only at the expense of the other.
Set against a backdrop of Australia’s current environmental initiatives and echoes of its colonial past, these cases challenge loyalties and long-held beliefs. No one doubts an aboriginal elder’s prophecy that the situation will ultimately end in death. The question is: Will anyone be left standing afterward?
