House on the Frontier

In the harsh and beautiful frontier of 1850s Australia, a routine police patrol becomes the beginning of a chilling mystery. When Sergeant Norm Green dispatches four mounted constables to investigate the disappearance of a settler named Nigel Martin, they uncover far more than an abandoned homestead. Hidden across the lonely plains are murdered families, stolen government gold, missing children, and evidence of a ruthless conspiracy reaching far beyond the frontier settlements. As the trail leads through goldfields, isolated farms, and the untamed bush, the men of Hill Top Police find themselves hunting killers who leave no witnesses behind. Rich in authentic detail, memorable characters, and the spirit of Australia’s pioneering era, Death on the Frontier is a compelling tale of courage, friendship, justice, and the enduring mysteries that echo across generations.This historical novel is the fifth in Father Peter King’s Frontier series set in the central west of New South Wales. It will be popular for those with a love of Australian history, pioneer settlements, mounted police and mateship.
