Senior Constable Sally White has seen enough lost-hiker cases to know when something feels off, and the disappearance of young journalist Louis Taylor won’t let her rest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eLouis was digging into the region’s old illegal tobacco trade when he vanished on a hike up Mount Viking. With the search failing and a key contact turning up dead, Sally is pushed toward the neat explanation: accident. Then she uncovers an earlier case—lawyer Astrid Marlowe, missing in the same mountains—and the pattern becomes harder to ignore.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers who love atmospheric outback mysteries, police procedurals, and small-town crime with a strong investigative lead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eStep into the cold air, follow the trail, and see what’s been hiding up there.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53180285255956,"sku":"9781761351112","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781761351112_1.jpg?v=1785129431","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/cold-river","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
