It&#39;s hot, remote, desolate and dangerous - and about as deep into the infamous Australian outback as anyone would dare to venture. An eminent neurosurgeon and his family, on the holiday of a lifetime, are shot dead, their shattered bodies left to the ravages of the desert sun and carrion-eating wildlife.<br /><br />Detective Inspector Russell Foley and his best friend, Detective Sergeant Sam Rose, are sent into the heart of the legendary Harold Lasseter, &quot;Lost Reef of Gold&quot; country, to investigate the brutal murders.<br /><br />But is it Gold Fever, the twisted mind of a deranged killer protecting that which he believes is his... or something else entirely?
