Beyond Fear

Winner of two Davitt Awards for Australian Women Crime Writers. Described by Sisters in Crime as 'deliciously scary'.

When four women set out for their annual weekend getaway, all they have in mind is a few laughs and a break from routine. But simmering dark secrets could stop them from ever returning home.

Jodie chose the secluded cabin for this year's event, unaware it was once the focus of a police investigation – and that it, like her, nurtures a violent past.

The isolation triggers frightening flashbacks to a crime Jodie almost didn't survive as a teenager. Shaken by memories she thought were buried deep, she is worried when she finds evidence of trespassers. But her suspicion infects the mood of the weekend, starting an argument makes Jodie begin to doubt herself.

Paranoia, though, doesn't mean you're wrong and when the cabin's terrifying history resurfaces, Jodie's fear might be the only thing that will her and her friends ... or get them killed.
