Broken Fences

A Maya Thorne Australian Outback Thriller

Maya Thorne is called to investigate when Dr. Amanda Parker is found dead.

What begins as an apparent accident evolves into something far more sinister, revealing connections between drought-resistant crop research and powerful interests operating in the shadows of rural Australia. When evidence emerges that Parker's death was staged using the storm as cover, Maya must navigate both scientific sabotage and the deep-rooted tensions of a community divided by old grievances and new threats.

As pressure mounts from university officials and corporate representatives, Maya uncovers links between Parker's murder and the exploitation of agricultural research. With local law enforcement stretched thin and corporate influence growing, each revelation draws Maya deeper into a web of corruption which could determine the region's future.

But in a country where truth lies hidden beneath manipulated soil samples and historical fraud, Maya discovers that challenging established power structures can be deadly.
