Dead Heat
My third book, Dead Heat, will be published by Hachette Australia in April, 2012.
About the book:
National Parks Ranger Jo Lockwood is often alone in the wilderness, and she likes it that way – until she discovers the body of a man, brutally murdered.
Detective Nick Matheson’s new posting to the north-west of New South Wales is supposed to be an uneventful return to normal duties and a normal life. He knows organised crime from the inside out and suspects that the victim in the camping ground is not an isolated murder.
Jo is committed to helping the investigation but she has seen the killer’s face and now she’s at risk. Nick’s determined to protect her but as the body count starts mounting, his past and present collide, threatening the people he cares about most.
Trapped in rugged country in scorching summer heat, pursued by hunters who can’t afford to fail, Nick and Jo will need to trust each other completely, and use all their skills and knowledge in order to survive.

Bron! Can’t wait for this one!!
Oh my lord, how on earth did I miss this?
*checking Book Depository*
Azteclady, it won’t be out in Australia until April, and as yet UK rights haven’t been sold as far as I know. I’m hoping it may be available more widely in digital form, but that’s not confirmed yet. Believe me, I’ll let you know if it is
The Book Depository has it as ‘currently unavailable’ with a publication date of March 27th. I’ll have to check back then, see if they’ll ship it here.
So happy for you! Can’t wait to read it.
Love it, Bron, now I’ve have to wait a tortuous month to read the rest of it!! Sigh….
