Amy and the Killers
On a dairy farm outside Beaufort, a small town south of Sydney, Brian Swanson is shot and killed when he attempts to save his girlfriend Amy's life. When the local police make little progress with the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Michael Chaucer and Detective Sergeant Janice Mallon from Sydney are appointed to find out who the killer could be and find possible motives for targeting a twenty-year-old country girl from a popular, well-known and respected family. Amy has no idea why anyone would want to take her life; Chaucer and Mallon make little headway but this is unlikely to be a random attack, especially in the country. Can Amy help the detectives find the clues they need to solve the crime?
