Welcome to Litsy!

Red blood stains the scorching sand "down under" in this true crime thriller.
Less than 250,000 people live in the Northern Territory of Australia, an area more than twice the size of Texas. If one wants to escape from civilization, there’s no need to go far. But the heat can’t be outrun. Every year during October and November, the sweltering climate can drive people wild—they call it ‘suicide season,’ ‘mango madness’ or, simply, ‘the build-up.’ It’s during this burning heat that Jim O’Connell’s mummified and castrated body is found in a creek bed. But when a dubious plea deal buries the truth and puts Jim’s best mate, Philip Mather, behind bars for the crime, the victim’s parents seek to unravel it themselves to prove Philip’s innocence.
Follow journalist Mark Whittaker’s journey into the blistering heart of Northern Australia as allegations of police corruption and judicial racism emerge, and a shadowy figure known as The Vigilante lurks on the fringe of the investigation.
Please note: Blood Territory contains mature themes and graphic imagery. Discretion is advised.
