Australian undercover agent Denise Cleever is the only member of the worldwide intelligence community who has seen the never-photographed international terrorist Red Wolf face-to-face . . . and lived. Now the fear is that Red Wolf is in the United States to coordinate a series of terrorist attacks -- and Denise is the only person who can recognize and stop him.
A vicious terrorist group is operating deep within the wild reaches of Australia's remote Kimberley region, and even though the government is aware of their presence, the group's cat-and-mouse tactics make it impossible to stop. The only way to stop the threat is from an insider within the group, and there's no better under-cover agent Denise Cleever here in her third adventure

In Australia, a young British woman with a bomb strapped to her body embraces a visiting American senator--and activates the device. In Paris, a young woman stabs a leading French intellectual to death and then ritually disembowels herself. Is it a coincidence that both were patients of charismatic psychiatrist, Dr. Graeme Thorwell? Has Thorwell found a way to turn troubled young people into directed murderers who will kill on command? For Australian Security Intelligence Organization Agent Denise Cleever, this will prove to be the most perilous of assignments as she joins the staff of Dr. Thorwell's exclusive Easehaven Clinic where it seems both body and mind are equally under threat.
This is the first in a new series for author Claire McNab. It features Denise Cleever, an undercover agent for the Australian intelligence agency. She is placed at Hedwing Institute, which is run by one of Australia's most powerful families. She trying to gather evidence about the disappearance of the family patriarch and his sister seven years earlier in the Outback. As she gets closer and closer to the answer of whether the two met with a foul death or simply suffered an accident, she finds herself in increasing danger.
Undercover agent Denise Cleever faces a daunting assignment - infiltrate the shadowy terrorist group who has found a unique method to produce widespread panic. How? By paying amateur contract killers a considerable bounty for every successful murder at random. The method of murder is up to the contract killer - but it's mandatory that each death be brutally violent and attract the maximum publicity. National exposure gets a substantial bonus; making the international media network doubles the original fee. As Denise follows the elusive trail, she discovers an unholy alliance between members of the media and the perpetrator of the tide of fear that is engulfing the nation. Deeply undercover, with no back-up if things go wrong, Denise faces her most challenging assignment as she realizes the fate of thousands is in her hands. This is the sixth installment of the Denise Cleever Thriller series.
While tracking down a ruthless hired killer, Australian top cop Carol Ashton is tempted by the seductive charms of a mysterious stranger ... a woman whose shadowy secrets could be leading Carol to the dark side of desire.
When people with no obvious connections to each other are dying in what appear to be legitimate accidents -- a fall down the stairs, a single-vehicle car crash, a drowning in a hot tub -- nothing seems amiss. Until, Detective Inspector Carol Ashton receives a call from a private investigator who works for a number of insurance companies. Recently, several large life insurance policy pay outs seem questionable but there is no proof of wrongdoing. As Carol begins an investigation of the completely unrelated deaths, she realizes this could be the toughest case of her career and perhaps, one impossible to solve.

Extremely generous with his money, Milton has bought influence in high places and a circle of well-connected friends and business acquaintances.

Detective Inspector Carol Ashton finds a long list of possible murderers--a list that includes family members who are positively jostling for position to be at the top of the list. Then an elaborate practical joke is played out at Milton's funeral by his son, Ted, and more evidence begins piling up against him. Carol must act quickly to find out if Ted is indeed his father's killer--or if he is simply being set up as yet another 'fall guy'... Fall Guy is the 16th book in the Carol Ashton mystery series.
