Notes:
A body swinging in the trees. A mysterious hit and run. Detective Cassie Rowan tackles the most disturbing case of her career. Just before dawn on a clear October morning, Detective Cassie Rowan is driving home, exhausted, after a gruelling night on duty. Her headlights catch a sudden flash of movement by the side of the road, a streak of bright, metallic blue. Cassie pulls over to take a look. For a moment, she thinks she imagined it; a body swaying among the trees - hanging from a branch. Cassie scrambles up the slope, already dialling emergency service. And stops short. The macabre sight that greets her is not what she expected at all..A week later. there's a fatal accident on the same stretch of road. Seventeen-year-old Damian Novak mown down in a hit-and-run. No witnesses. Something about Damian's death doesn't add up. Cassie is convinced that the hit-and-run and her mysterious swinging body are connected. Cassie discovers that Damian isn't the first local teenager to have died in strange circumstances...and he won't be the last. In each case, a sinister effigy of the victim appears a week before their death. Cassie is in a race against time to track down a brutal killer before they kill again.
