In The Creeper, the small mountain town of Edenville in Victoria's high country is haunted by the horrific murders of five hikers on Jagged Ridge. Also found dead near the scene was Bill 'Creeper' Durant, a bushland loner with a known reputation for stalking campers. The case was deemed a murder-suicide and closed. However, as the ten-year anniversary approaches, Detective Constable Sally White, the only officer at Edenville’s modest police station, is drawn into the dark world of the notorious Durant family. Lex Durant, in particular, has started to publicly protest his brother's innocence and accuse the police of persecution. As Sally revisits the investigation, she uncovers that each murdered hiker had secrets and possible enemies in their past. The Creeper is a chilling mystery novel that delves into the complexities of small-town life and the shadows of the past.
