Stone Town
Stone Town is captivating new rural crime drama from the author of the bestselling Cutters End.
With its gold-rush history long in the past, Stone Town has seen better days. And it’s now in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
When three teenagers stumble upon a body in dense bushland one rainy Friday night, Senior Sergeant Mark Ariti’s hopes for a quiet posting in his old home town are shattered. The victim is Aidan Sleeth, a property developer, whose controversial plan to buy up local land means few are surprised he ended up dead.
