Martin and Claire's nemesis, Wanda Jean, is dead and buried in Broome. Or is she?

Martin and Claire go to Warrnambool to investigate a savage and despicable murder. The latest killings, reminiscent of their former enemy's handy work, have the ASIO agents on edge, wondering if their belief of Wanda Jean's demise is accurate. Or could it be that someone has constructed this web of intrigue to draw them out?

“So this was really good. Some trigger spots for those who are sensitive to rape scenes... but the action and characters kept me thrilled and on the edge of my seat.” ~ StarWarsLover

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the third thrilling installment in "The Oz Files," featuring a series of intriguing thrillers set in Australia, written with great authenticity by Aussie author Barry Metcalf. [DRM-Free]

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in 1943 to a working class family with middle class aspirations, I began writing stories while at school, finally venturing into novels when I retired from teaching in 1997. The result was a series of mystery/thriller novels set in Australia and featuring two unorthodox investigators who work for the fictional Strange & Obscure Cases (SOC) Unit, an autonomous offshoot of ASIO.

When Evolved Publishing, an American company, showed enthusiasm for my stories, I was contracted to produce the first three novels in the series. Negotiations for a further three novels are in the works.

I am encouraged by positive feedback, at which time the words flow freely and usually reflect my bizarre sense of reality and weird humour. When my muse's ego is bruised, I bide my time, reworking old short stories into Sci-Fi novels and waiting for new ideas to evolve. The longest time I've gone without writing anything new has been eighteen months, but when the drought finally broke, the words flowed thick and fast.

Three times married with four children, I live in Morwell, Victoria, Australia.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read.

So I had kind of a hard time getting into this book but I pushed on and finished it and ended up liking it. There are some trigger points that could set some people off but the fit into the story that was being told. Life isn't always about the good, sometimes it gets bad to build character! That's exactly what happens throughout this story. I can't wait to read some more! Good Job, Metcalf. Good job

Hops right into the action. Warning not for the faint of heart. There are acts of rape in this book. Do not read if you can't stomach reading it.
Martin and Claire are just getting back into the swing of their vacation, only to have it ruined by their boss Gavin. Now they must find the depraved killers in a small town. Unknown to them their Wanda Jean is very much alive and is at it again but with a new identity, but a different plan to get to her end game. Him. Will she succeed this time round?

1.0 out of 5 stars Why so much rape?

The book started out great .Wanda Jean a witch from 1840 survives all those years and I guess she was in the first book and got killed (I didn’t read the first book). 1991: Martin and Clair are excited about being parents. But Wanda Jean who survived from the first book wants Martin to father her child, because of his genes her child would be the greatest warlock the world has ever seen.
Okay, so far so good until we get to chapter 6 where 2 teens dressed as Ninja’s invade a home, kill the father and drag the mother upstairs where in chapter 7 they rape her. I found that highly disturbing. I realize the second book had rape scenes (I gave that book a very good review) they made sense, but this just made me disgusted and I put the book down. I refuse to finish it.

This was hard to get into. I think this is probably more for people who enjoy super darkness in their books. I usually can read whatever, but I like that whatever to have a purpose and there are some incidents in this story that I just feel were put in for "funsies."
