'The Crushers is a mystery set in the Blue Mountains of NSW. ‘This is crime fiction set in the distinctively Australian Blue Mountains, revolving around Detective Ros Gordon and her colleagues as they aim to uncover the circumstances of the grizzly death of a young woman whose body has been found abandoned in a cave… the setting is beautifully evoked... the vivid sense we quickly gain of their mystique and threat is almost palpable, further drawing us into the story with a real appreciation of its setting.’ Kate Ballard' (Publication summary)

'Blue Mountains Detective Ros Gordon once again teams up with her boss Bill Fontani and colleague Constable Leighton in an investigation of the suspicious death of Red Ridge real estate agent, Jack Spandel. They are led from the mountain wilderness to Sydney's Chinatown in pursuit of not one, but two murders, encountering along the way, the uncomfortable presence of Mark Pragen, from the city Homicide Squad.'
