Book Synopsis

For Detective Dusty Buchanon, a female cop in the very male world of the Northern Territory Police Force, it always pays to expect the unexpected.
 
During the stifling pre-monsoon season known as the Build Up a body is found in a billabong near a Vietnam veterans' camp site.  To Dusty it's the chance she's been looking for:  a spectacular case to revive her flagging career.
 
But wherever Dusty goes, trouble tends to follow and when she's taken off the case and busted back to uniform it looks like someone's just got away with murder.
