Dying to Tell Me

Sasha’s policeman dad has taken up a remote country posting, but Sasha falls and hits her head on the very first day in Manna Creek.

When their new pet, retired police dog King, starts communicating with her, she puts it down to her concussion. But more strange things start to happen. Who is the greasy-haired man she keeps seeing? Why is the local art dealer so nasty? And who killed Mrs Alsopp and set her house on fire?

When Sasha ‘sees’ the burning house in a dream, it’s not enough to save the elderly woman. But the beaten man she sees in the old police cell is already dead – isn’t he? Together, Sasha and King must solve the mysteries in Manna Creek, and save the one person she thought she could rely on.

From popular and award-winning author, Sherryl Clark, comes a fast-paced mystery that will haunt you until the very last page.
