Echoes Among Wattle Pines

In a school where power silences the truth, Seka risks everything to discover a missing student...

Seka Torlak, now an investigative journalist, is on the run. After exposing links to the criminal underworld, a hit has been placed on her life—and she needs somewhere to disappear. She finds it at St Augustine's. Posing as a staff member at the prestigious private school in Willowford, Seka expects to lie low. Instead, she stumbles into a new case: Tom Nguyen, a scholarship student who vanished without a trace. The school calls him a runaway, but Seka knows better.

With her own life already under threat, Seka must piece together the truth before it's buried for good. But in a school where power protects its own, asking the wrong questions can be just as dangerous as knowing the answers. Will she find Tom before it's too late, or will Willowford's secrets claim another victim?
