“Hot Rock Dreaming”
- Another Johnny Ravine Mystery -
** Finalist - 2011 Australian Christian Book of the Year Awards **
Australia’s most famous Aboriginal painter is dead - supposedly killed when a heavy object tumbled onto him in his studio during an earth tremor.
But then doubts arise.
For a start, the police now suspect murder.
But another enigma is just as troubling - why was the victim, a deeply spiritual artist, heard earlier predicting his own violent death?
Enter private detective Johnny Ravine to solve the mystery? And suddenly he finds himself thrust into a byzantine world of art and artists where questions are far more numerous than answers.
Where did the victim’s art dealer obtain the incredibly valuable artwork that he was secretly selling?
Is the controversial green energy company RokPower really going to harness electricity from hot rocks deep under the ground?
Did this company kill the artist’s Dreaming spirit when it injected water onto the rocks?
And who is the beautiful and mysterious Asian lady who seems to be able to converse with the dead, and who says she knows how the artist really died?
A killer is on the loose and even Johnny’s own life is in danger. But first he needs to understand that the death of the artist has unleashed powerful spiritual forces that threaten an entire community...
“Hot Rock Dreaming” is published in Australia. So far it is available only from Australian bookstores (though some will ship overseas).
