Beware of Beautiful Days: Prequel to the Jack Curtis Mysteries

As a heavy mist rolls into the hinterland of Surfers Paradise, a dog digs up a small bone in the rainforest. His owner, a local doctor, immediately recognises it as the humerus of a small child and calls the police.

When Jack and his partner Samantha Neil arrive at the crime scene, Jack’s instincts tell him something isn’t right and this may just be the tip of the iceberg. One day later, four more small bodies are found and the shocking violence shakes the small community of Tamborine Mountain to its core.

With his Inspector pushing for an early closure of the cold cases, tensions rise threatening cracks in the team of officers at Surfers Paradise police station and pressure mounts as the press demand answers.

Threads from the past are woven into the present when another small boy disappears and Jack struggles with the shocking realisation that this has been happening for five years under their very noses.
