CHARACTER PROFILES
Isabelle (Bella) O'Connell
Memories of a dead child, an elderly suspect, and a mob gone mad haunt soon-to-be ex-detective, Isabelle O'Connell. When DCI Alec Goddard arrives at her isolated retreat with news of another child missing from her old home town, she has no choice but to join the investigative team and return to the traumatised town on the edge of the outback. She knows the people and the vast wilderness around the town, and her expertise and bush skills may be critical in finding the child. However, having seen what people are capable of — people she’d grown up with, believed were good — she no longer trusts anyone.
Alec Goddard
Dedicated and professional, Alec leads a police team in Sydney specialising in the investigation of violent crimes. He's a career detective, sent by State Crime Command to head this case because he’s the best. But his dedication has its price. He knows too well that police work and relationships are a lethal mix, so he won't let himself care about anyone. That's never been a problem, until he arrives in the small town of Dungirri — and embarks on a challenging case that rapidly becomes personal, requiring more emotional courage than he's ever needed before. |
