What you need to know before your trail

At the height of Australian summer, a serial killer known as The Shark stalks a coastal suburb, hunting young female swimmers.

Afraid and furious at the failure of the police to protect them, two women fight back. Raych is grieving someone she’d have died to save, while Carmen hides her own disturbing connection to the murders.

In desperation, they form an uneasy alliance. And when another girl vanishes, they take matters into their own hands – by kidnapping the prime suspect. But as their interrogation spirals, horrifying truths surface on both sides of the table.

The clock is ticking to save the missing girl. And in their quest for justice, Raych and Carmen must face the darkest question of all: have they caught a monster – or become one?

Travel Guide

Australian beaches

Well they are a law unto themselves aren’t they? Sharks and things that eat you tend to hang out on or near the beaches there 😉

My favourite West Australian beaches by Emma Styles:

Cottesloe beach 

“Grant Street is my go-to Perth beach on trips home.”

William Bay Road near Ocean Beach 

The beach I visit when staying with south coast family.

Rottnest Island 

The nearest thing to a Cornish cove in Western Australia, Little Parakeet is a perfect sheltered sandy crescent.

Coral Bay 

This is a pristine coastal landscape with a coral reef and incredible wildlife in and out of the water.

Kimberley beach

A Ramsar recognised wetland for migratory birds and a crucial nesting area for flatback turtles, come for the wildlife, solitude and sunsets.

Eighty Mile Beach

“Ramsar recognised wetland for migratory birds and a crucial nesting area for flatback turtles, come for the wildlife, solitude and sunsets.”
