The Carrogh's Due: A Paranormal Crime Division Novel

Six people have gone missing from the same stretch of river this year. Only one of them came back, and he won't (or can't) talk about what happened to the other five.Detective Rowan Ashcroft doesn't get the easy cases. As a detective with the Paranormal Crime Division, she chases down the crimes ordinary police can't touch, or won't believe in. This one's different from the start. Every so often, someone goes into the water and doesn't come back the same, if they come back at all. The old stories call it a witch. The locals call it a debt. Rowan's about to find out it's both, and neither, and worse than she expected either way.With her partner Callum along for the ride (equal parts good instincts and bad timing for jokes), Rowan starts pulling on threads that go back further than either of them are ready for. A cover-up that cost Callum's own family more than they've ever told him. A pattern in the missing that isn't random, whatever it looks like on paper. And a window that's closing fast, because whatever's waiting in the river doesn't open its ledger often, and it's almost time again.Rowan's got a daughter to get home to every night, a boss with more secrets than answers, and a growing list of people running out of time. Working out what the Carrogh actually wants might be the only way to bring any of them back. But some debts were never meant to be paid in full, and some things that owe you an explanation don't much care what you're owed.The Carrogh's Due is book one in The Fifth Point series, an Australian urban fantasy mystery for readers who want their supernatural crime procedurals with sharp banter, real emotional stakes, and a demon that's a lot more complicated than "evil."
