THE BAIT TRAP
Into the sinkhole…
The bush town of Cooinda is in the grip of a fearsome mouse plague and the locals are deeply divided by a coal seam gas mine.
When John Judd goes missing, all roads lead to a sinkhole – can a man disappear into the earth?
After a bruising separation, newly sober Sydney detective Zac Byrne arrives to investigate. He soon discovers Judd has kept a secret hidden – a bush cabin far from prying eyes.
What Byrne doesn’t expect when he arrives in Cooinda is to have feelings for Judd’s daughter, Thea. Will Byrne’s feelings for Thea stop him from uncovering the truth?
