Detectives Olivia Hansen and Callum Palmer faced a puzzling challenge when they were tasked with solving a murder that had occurred 120 years earlier. The case involved a long-forgotten tragedy that had been buried in the annals of history until Isabella Martin, a possible descendant of the victim, unexpectedly walked into the police station one fateful day.
Isabella had come across an intriguing advertisement that had been placed by Olivia and she carried with her a tale passed down through generations, a story that had haunted her family for over a century. It was a story of love, obsession, and a carefully devised scheme that had shattered the lives of those involved.
In the late 19th century, Bradley Hadigan was a man who seemingly had it all. He was deeply in love with his wife, a woman of remarkable beauty, and they were blessed with two children. Bradley was a respected station owner in the remote outback of New South Wales. To those who knew him, his life appeared close to perfection.
However, perfection often breeds envy, and Bradley's neighbor, Mark Jackson, was a man consumed by an obsessive desire for Bradley's wife. His infatuation led him down a dark path, and he hatched a scheme to eliminate his adversary and claim the beautiful woman for himself.
Mark enlisted the help of four former bushrangers, men with a notorious history of violence and cunning. Together, they conspired to orchestrate Bradley Hadigan's demise in a way that would cast suspicion elsewhere, leaving Mark with a clear path to win over the object of his affection.
What is it that causes his scheme to unravel? Or does it?
With each revelation from Isabella, the Detectives drew closer to the identity of the bones. The answer lay hidden in the dusty pages of history-a history Isabella knew well.
