Some journeys end. Others reveal the truth.
The legendary Indian Pacific promises an unforgettable journey across Australia's vast interior. But when a fellow passenger is discovered dead in the lounge carriage, the adventure is shattered, and every traveller becomes a potential suspect.
Among them is Violet Grant, a retired registered nurse whose quiet powers of observation have served her well throughout her life. As the train rolls across the endless Nullarbor, hidden relationships emerge, long-buried loyalties are tested, and a decades-old secret refuses to remain buried.
With nowhere to escape and no one entirely above suspicion, Violet finds herself drawn into an investigation where every conversation matters, every clue carries weight, and the truth proves far more dangerous than anyone expected.
Richly atmospheric and set against one of the world's greatest rail journeys, Last Crossing is an engaging Australian mystery woven with suspense, memorable characters, and themes of justice, redemption, and the enduring power of truth.
