The first of the Goolwa Murder series, The Grave At The Top Of The Hill twists a story from South Australian history with one set in current times. The interconnection between the two stories unfolds in an uncanny but credible way. Based on a historical shipwreck, the story of the Mozambique and the discovery of its mysterious treasure lead to deception, mistrust and murder, the full story of which will not be revealed until 160 years later. Again, there is murder and a man who has a secret must solve the murder to prove his innocence.
