During the course of his work for the local Police., a case allocated to him, he realises that it crosses with previous crimes, and so he then meets August.

Now Jacob, he is so sure of himself, and determined to do a good job, and help his local community in Tallowwood too. This stops him from even looking for someone else, he really comes across as a loner. August, he is the one you will really feel for, especially when you learn his boyfriend died, and it seems like he can't totally lay him to rest until he knows exactly what happened that fateful day. I loved both of the MC's in this book, as both were independent men, and living their lives as they wanted.

drawn in and totally hooked, couldn't stop reading, wanted to get to the end, but then didn't want to get to the end, didn't want the story to finish. I must commend N.R.Walker, as I was in a book funk and listening to audio more than reading until I was asked to review this book. I really can't find the words other than WOW !! I was hooked from the first page, and kept there until I had finished. Well, what to say about this book, so that I can do it justice. August and Jake must trace the untraceable before the killer takes his next victim or before he stops one of them, permanently. With Jacob now firmly in August’s corner, they face one hurdle after another, even when more remains are found, they still can’t seem to gain ground.īut when the body of a fellow police officer turns up under the same MO, it can’t be ignored anymore. When human remains are found in the camping grounds at Tallowwood Reserve, Jake’s new case turns out to be linked to August’s cold cases, and Jake agrees they’re not suicides at all. He runs summer camps for the local Indigenous kids, plays rugby with his mates, has a close family, and he’s the local LGBTQIA+ Liaison and the Indigenous Liaison Officer.

Senior Constable Jacob Porter loves his life in the small town of Tallowwood in the middle of the rainforests in northern New South Wales. His work is his entire life, and he’s convinced a string of unsolved cold-case suicides are linked to what could be Australia’s worst ever serial killer. Since the death of his boyfriend eight years ago, August works alone, lives alone, is alone - and that’s exactly how he likes it. Sydney detective August Shaw has spent the last decade of work solving cold cases. Cold cases, murder, lies, and an unimaginable truth.
