A chilling Australian police procedural packed with live-streamed murder, psychological terror, drug crime, calculated vengeance, and a killer turning grief into a weapon in rural New South Wales. He doesn't just kill his victims. He makes their loved ones watch. A video call connects. A loved one appears on screen. Then the murder begins. Detective Inspector Jason Farrell is called to investigate a series of vicious killings designed to inflict maximum pain on the people left behind. The victims appear to be connected to a powerful Kingsbrook businessman suspected of running one of the largest drug operations in New South Wales. But this is no ordinary gangland case. As Farrell and his team dig deeper, they uncover a trail of violence and silence - and buried crimes that someone has decided to punish. The killer is not just taking lives. He is making witnesses of the people who loved them. And as Farrell closes in on the answer, the case threatens to drag his own private life into the line of fire. Don't Answer the Phone is the gripping fourth book in the Detective Jason Farrell series: a dark, fast-paced Australian crime thriller for fans of psychological police procedurals, revenge killers, and murder cases with a vicious human edge. __________________________________________________Praise for the Detective Jason Farrell Australian Crime Thrillers:?????
