You probably remember that Luke had been a victim himself, but why, and who was responsible? It turns out the entire awful murders had been triggered by Luke’s wife Karen realizing something was wrong with the local school’s grant money, thus triggering Scott Whitlam, the principal, to think he needed to murder them to keep his gambling secret.
At the end of the book Falk finally gets peace of mind that Luke hadn’t been involved, it had been Ellie’s father and cousin who’d been responsible for her death all along.Īs for the present events, Falk is kept in Kiewarra working with a local investigator, Raco, trying to figure out if Luke Hadler had in fact murdered his family and then taken his own life. Falk and his friend Luke had alibied each other, but they’d lied. I know!-this was the “past” mystery storyline: Ellie, a girl in Falk’s group of friends, suspiciously drowned when they were teenagers. Why the need to threaten? Falk, now 36, hadn’t been back to Kiewarra since him and his father had hightailed out of there in his teens when Falk had been suspected of murder. Aaron Falk, a Federal Agent in Melbourne, got a threatening note saying he’d lied and Luke had lied and he better go to Luke’s funeral.
