Last Orders

A Maya Thorne Australian Outback Thriller

He poured their drinks. He heard their secrets. He wrote them all down.

Albert Whitcombe had run the Warragulla pub for thirty years. He knew which marriages were failing, which deals were dirty, and which families had blood on their hands. He was weeks away from publishing a memoir that would expose it all.

Then someone poisoned him.

Detective Maya Thorne finds a manuscript with chapters missing and a town full of people with reason to want Albert silent. But one secret stands out — a hit-and-run fifteen years ago that killed a teenage boy. The driver was never found. Albert knew who it was.

The Langley family has shaped Warragulla's story for generations. They've decided how the town remembers its past and who gets forgotten. Albert was about to change that.

Now witnesses are recanting. Evidence is vanishing. And Maya is running out of pages.

Some stories aren't meant to be published. Some people will kill the author to make sure.

For fans of Jane Harper, Chris Hammer, and Garry Disher.

Book 11 in the Maya Thorne series.
