About the book

The Creeper is set in the small mountain town of Edenville in Victoria’s high country. For the last decade the town has been haunted by the horrific murders of five hikers up on Jagged Ridge. Also found dead near the scene was Bill ‘Creeper’ Durant, a bushland loner, expert deer-hunter, and a man with a known reputation for stalking campers... Conclusion: murder-suicide. Case closed. But as the ten-year anniversary of the massacre draws near, Detective Constable Sally White finds herself drawn into the dark world of the notorious Durant family...
