Description: A sound froze her blood. A woman. A woman screaming in pure terror. Screaming and sobbing-begging-out here, in this desolate place. Twenty years ago, ornithology student Jessica Weston panicked when she heard a woman screaming for her life in the remote Barrington Tops. Her relief, when she discovers that it is a lyrebird making the sounds, is profound. She is thrilled to have caught his display on video. Then she remembers-lyrebirds are mimics. Whatever the wild creature has heard must have really happened, and happened nearby. Jessica takes her video to the police. Despite support from newly minted detective, Megan Blaxland, with no missing person reported and no body, her evidence is ridiculed and dismissed. Twenty years later, a body is unearthed, just where Jessica said it would be. Horrified they let the case go cold, Jessica, now an associate professor, and Megan, recently retired but brought back to head up the investigation, reunite and join forces. They are determined to find the killer, whatever it takes. What they don't realise is that they are not just putting their lives in danger, but also the lives of those close to them . . . 'Based on a mind-blowing and wholly unique premise, Lyrebird is a twisty thriller that will keep you in its grip until the last page.' JOAN SAUERS, author of Echo Lake 'I inhaled Lyrebird-it is such a compelling novel.' HANNAH DIVINEY, author of I'll Let Myself In 'Unputdownable. A brilliant read from a wonderfully evocative, insightful writer.' LISA WILKINSO
