The Lost Ones. Book 10: Missing in Byron Bay
Byron Bay-a paradise of surf, sand, and secrets. Beneath the town's bohemian lifestyle and stunning landscapes lurks a deadly threat.
Sophie McAllister arrives in Byron Bay to investigate the disappearance of a young woman, Lily, a German backpacker who vanished after using a ride-sharing app. As Sophie digs deeper, she uncovers a disturbing pattern: more people have disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving no trace except for cryptic ride-share connections.
In a town divided between the wealthy elite and the homeless surfers living in the nearby forests, Sophie finds herself navigating two worlds that rarely collide but both hide dark secrets. The locals are reluctant to talk, and a young man named Patrick-wealthy, charming, but cold-catches Sophie's attention. Beneath his clean-cut appearance, Sophie senses something far more sinister, and as she pieces together clues, she realizes Patrick has been operating in the shadows, hiding his true nature behind a mask of privilege.
But Patrick isn't just another name on a list-he's watching Sophie, tracking her every move, and he knows she's getting too close. With drones stalking her from above and Patrick closing in, Sophie must race against time to expose him before she becomes his next victim.
Set against the stunning yet haunting backdrop of Byron Bay, Missing in Byron Bay is a suspenseful thriller where paradise has a dark side, and danger waits just beneath the surface. Will Sophie uncover the truth before it's too late?
