This fictional, unpublished story is based on a real small town called Mystery Bay on the South Coast of NSW. It’s a sleepy seaside town where nothing much ever happens and there is rarely cause for concern. But when young boy is attacked by an unknown creature in the water, fear takes over and paranoia sweeps through the community. Is it the town’s largest investor trying to reignite local tourism? Does a disgruntled resident have an ulterior motive? Or is there really something evil lurking beneath the waves?
Acting Sergeant Everett Boyd, a former New York cop exiled to Mystery Bay after a tragic shooting, is reluctantly drawn into the investigation. He is joined by Constable Rachel Coombes, the town’s beloved daughter, as they navigate a web of local secrets, eccentric personalities, and mounting hysteria.
When trust dissolves and no-one feels safe, how long will it be before this once idyllic town tears itself apart?
What would life be like if these walls could talk? One man knows and it's slowly driving him insane.
