Book Description

All four books in 'Georgie Harvey And John Franklin', a series of rural crime fiction by Sandi Wallace, now in one volume! Tell Me Why: Melbourne writer Georgie Harvey heads to the mineral springs region in central Victoria to look for a missing farmer, and soon links the woman’s disappearance with the unsolved mystery surrounding her husband. Meanwhile, maverick police officer and solo dad John Franklin is working a case that’s a step up from Daylesford’s usual soft crime: a stalker targeting single mothers. When Georgie reports the missing person to local cops, sparks fly between her and Franklin. But what will the truth cost? Dead Again: Almost two years have passed since wildfires ravaged the tiny town of Bullock, and Melbourne journalist Georgie Harvey is on assignment to write a feature story on the anniversary of the tragedy.

A secret someone might kill to keep. Into The Fog: Melbourne journalist Georgie Harvey is on hand when three children disappear from a police-run camp in the Dandenong Ranges. When Daylesford cop John Franklin hears the news, he feels responsible for the young siblings and abandons his post to join the search. As a snap polar storm intensifies, every minute is vital. Pushed away from the case by local detectives, Franklin and Georgie soon find a connection to a serial predator and another missing girl. But even if they risk everything, can they avert tragedy?
