In the middle of the night in a remote part of Western Australia's goldfields, the thud of a mallet on a marker peg sets off a chain reaction that unearths secrets long buried.

Detective Jessy Parkin – sent to policing purgatory in the aftermath of a tainted investigation – is tasked with finding Max Cochrane, a veteran prospector who has vanished into thin air.

What begins with a concerned daughter's plea for help soon burgeons into a mystery as shapeshifting as a desert mirage. Fortunes are being built on the back of Kalgoorlie's coveted gold, but the truth might be the rarest find of all.

Critic reviews

'Hot Ground is an atmospheric goldfields mystery rich in authentic investigative detail. Jessy Parkin is a tenacious sleuth, a heroine for these twisted troubled times.' (Alan Carter, author of Prize Catch)
