A beautiful island with a dark past. Kangaroo Island off the rugged coast of South Australia, is the perfect place for a family holiday - but it is a little island with a big secret. When the new police constable Dudley 'Deadly' Nicholls arrives on the Island, after a turbulent career on the mainland and an equally choppy ferry ride, he is expected to tow-the-line. But when he stumbles across a dark secret, he fights against all odds to uncover the truth. He soon discovers that things are not what they seem in this idyllic tourist destination. With the Island's famous Flinders Chase Cup set to go ahead, the high rollers are flying in and heading down to the luxurious Acacia Bay Resort. Ambitious and resourceful Mayor Don Ferris is hatching a plan to boost the local economy, which doesn't involve budget backpackers.

Robert Koehne's vivid descriptions of the island's beautiful scenery and local characters will have you enthralled as you unravel the dark secrets lurking on the Island.
