'In this third volume of the series, Detective Senior Constable Ros Gordon of Red Ridge, in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, investigates a series of suspicious deaths occurring in a train, a car and an historic Turkish Bath. Her inquiries take her and her colleague, Detective Constable Leighton, into the worlds of business, politics and art, and involve a steep learning curve around autonomous cars, NFT's, and a dentist who moonlights as a microbrewer. But, for Ros, another occupation is calling her.' (Publication summary)

'A collection of stories for dark nights.' (Publication summary)

'Jumping from something not out of place on The Twilight Zone to bizarre character pieces that evoke the most creative cinematic works from directors like Lynch, Tarantino, and Luhrmann, readers who appreciate treading far from the beaten path will be delighted and surprised by each story collected in this volume. The mainstream reader may be left scratching his or her head trying to decipher the meaning behind each of these stories, but this is creative writing for the creative writer at its best: It's challenging, inspirational, and nearly impossible to predict.' (Publication summary)

'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)
