Detectives Mike Lynch and Ben Torrens thought they had seen it all. Yet nothing could prepare them for what they were about to face. Freybourne, a quiet city populated with a mere 85,000 people and surrounded by bushland, is under attack. A serial killer with the most perverse fetish of allpregnant women- has turned it into a hunting ground. When the mutilated body of a young woman is discovered, shockwaves surge through the sleepy little community. Weeks later a second body, bearing the same trademark mutilation as the first, is uncovered. With few leads and even less forensic evidence left at the scene, Mike and Ben tackle their most difficult case yet, a case that sucks them deep into the seedy underbellies of some of Freybourne’s most well known establishments. When a lead points them to a Wellness Clinic, a web of lies and deceit begins to unravel. Will the Wellness Clinic pay the ultimate price for secrecy or will Mike and Ben crack the case before more bodies turn up? The pressure begins to mount when Mike discovers his girlfriend is pregnant and Ben’s ex-wife is somehow caught up in the investigation. The two men find their tempers running hot and their time running out.

When Detective Lucas Grey arrives in the eerie town of Ashwood, he expects a routine case. But the brutal murders of three men-each linked by a secret past-turn the investigation into something far darker. The victims, once childhood friends, share a chilling mark carved into their skin-a signature of a killer with a deadly purpose. As Lucas delves deeper, he encounters Emma Carter, a quiet yet resilient bakery owner with a past just as tangled as the town's. Emma's parents died in a supposed car accident when she was a child, but when Lucas uncovers a star-shaped necklace tied to her mother, long-buried truths come to light. The town whispers of an ancient brotherhood leaving behind a trail of blood and betrayal. With Sheriff Margaret Cole, a sharp yet haunted officer, by his side, Lucas pieces together a conspiracy decades in the making. But as the body count rises, trust erodes. Who among them is next? And when the past refuses to stay buried, will Lucas escape Ashwood's deadly grip, or will he become another name on the killer's list?
