The Witness: Third In The Series From The Bestselling Rural Crime Author Of The Prospect, Perfect For Readers Of Jane Harper, Dinuka Mckenzie And Chris Hammer

**The Witness by Fleur McDonald** is a tense rural crime novel set against the red earth and hard edges of Kalgoorlie, where the past has a way of resurfacing when you least expect it.

When Molly Walker was five, she was hidden away after witnessing the murder of her mother, police constable Sammi Walker. Two decades on, life has settled into a careful kind of normal—until Molly’s adoptive parents die in a sudden car crash, just after raising questions about reopening Sammi’s case. Detective Jack Higgins isn’t convinced it was an accident, and as he and Detective Angie Sullivan dig deeper, old loyalties fray and long-buried secrets start pushing to the surface.

Perfect for readers who love Australian outback mysteries, police procedurals, small-town secrets and high-stakes suspense—especially fans of Jane Harper-style atmospheric crime.

Add it to your basket and return to Kalgoorlie for a mystery that won’t let go.
