THIRTY THOUSAND HECTARES OF PRIME CATTLE COUNTRY.
A LEGACY STAINED BY SHADOW.
When Gus Teague receives an unexpected call from a solicitor, his life changes in a heartbeat. He has inherited Woolgar River Park - a vast estate in the unforgiving Queensland outback once owned by his estranged uncle, Lachlan Teague.
But the inheritance comes with a warning.
The locals call it the Woolgar River Curse.
Seventeen years ago, a series of horrific tragedies wiped out the previous owners in a single, blood-soaked week. Since then, the land has carried a reputation few dare speak of openly.
Now Gus and his wife Lynette - a former Detective Sergeant - arrive to find padlocked gates, a stripped homestead, and a history that refuses to stay buried.
In the shimmering heat of the red dust, they must uncover the truth:
Is the curse a legend born from a nineteenth-century massacre?
Or is something far more human still willing to kill to protect the secrets of Woolgar River Park?
