The reverend Ray Riley, concerned for Bill's welfare, drives out to Bill's small rural property where he finds the old man's body lying under a scar tree beside a dry river bank. Strangely, Bill's corpse has fallen into a neatly cut one meter deep rectangular hole. A shallow grave of sorts. For the the police it's a simple suicide, but for the reverend Ray Riley Bill's death raises more questions than it answers. How did Bill, an old man with one leg, get from the nursing home to this secluded spot by the creek? How did he get the gun? What was the significance of the shallow grave where Bill's body had fallen? Had Bill dug his own grave?

These initially seem unconnected, but as she begins to uncover the truth Olivia and Ray face a race against time to stop a murder. Book length approx 75,000 words
