A mother lies brutally murdered in her ransacked, two-bedroomed flat. Beside her are the bloodstained bodies of the two police officers who were first on the scene. In the bedroom are the victim's two children, a six-year-old boy and a baby, slaughtered as they slept. And the killer is still in the flat. Paterson sets off in hot pursuit. But after a desperate rooftop chase, the killer escapes. The following day, another woman is found dead in her own home, her decapitated body carefully posed in her living room, her wrists pierced by crucifixes. Why were these women targeted? Paterson and Clocks have never had to deal with a killer like this. A killer who shows no mercy. A killer who can't be reasoned with. A killer who covers their tracks with super-human efficiency. If they are to get their man, the two detectives must break every rule in the book. At the same time, married life is not turning out as Clocks had hoped, and his newly-discovered son has just given him some very bad news . . .

Life begins when you join the oil field. But there was life before that. JC challenged the highway stormtroopers of a Distant Queensland Town on a Daring Mission - Where a Thirst for Life Became overridden by the Power of Beer! Farm chores sure could be dull, and JC was bored beyond belief. He yearned for adventures in the outback - and adventures that would take him beyond the farthest shores to distant and icy landscapes. But JC got more than he bargained for when he was intercepted by a QLD police officer and given a cryptic ultimatum to leave a beautiful town operating under a dark and powerful authority. JC didn't know why this was, but he knew he had to save himself - and soon, because time was running out. Armed only with courage and with the skills taught to him by his father, JC was catapulted into the middle of the most dangerous deep-sea drilling platforms ever...and he was headed straight for a desperate encounter on the Russian Nogliki station many know as the Death Star!
