Book excerpt: When your date turns into a snuff film, surviving is only the beginning​ … 'Excellent thriller! Very disturbing and suspenseful! … Highly recommend!' 5 stars, NetGalley reviewer. A gripping Australian crime thriller filled with mystery, suspense, and a touch of romance ... When Andy and Mel’s double date turns into a snuff film, Andy fights back, killing one of her attackers, leading to an unwanted aftermath of attention and threats. Detective Daniel Connor links the attack to the recent discovery of six female bodies found buried in bushland on Sydney’s Northern Beaches – three double homicides now thought to be part of an organised snuff-film ring. When video of the attack is leaked online, the threats against the women escalate. Determined to find answers, Andy is caught in the middle of a deadly investigation. Connor vows to protect Andy and Mel, but as more suspects are uncovered, the more he fears for their lives.
