False Step

A man falls thirty metres from the top of a grain silo. The police call it an accident. Almost nobody else does.

When private investigator Skye Lisbon arrives in the tiny Queensland town of Ironleigh, she expects a straightforward job. A local man has plunged to his death from the top of a grain silo, and the circumstances look suspicious enough for his mother to hire her.

But the deeper Skye digs, the less the official story makes sense.

Why was the dead man working without a safety harness? Why are key witnesses suddenly reluctant to talk? And why are powerful people so determined to keep her away from the truth?

Still finding her feet as a rookie PI, Skye has more questions than experience-and every answer seems to lead somewhere she isn't supposed to go.

As she uncovers a trail of deception, hidden evidence and secrets buried deep within the local community, one thing becomes clear: the fall wasn't an accident.

Someone murdered him.

And now they know Skye is getting close.

False Step is a fast-paced Australian outback crime thriller featuring a determined young female private investigator, her loyal border collie Darius, and a cast of memorable characters. This gripping murder mystery is perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Patricia Wolf, Jodi Burnett and L.T. Ryan.
