A K9 search and rescue officer unearths deadly secrets in the hunt for a missing teen.
Beneath the snow-dusted peaks of Australia’s largest alpine national park lies the small farming town of Wildling, where the patriarchy rules, power is inherited—and secrets are worth killing for.
When a teenage girl disappears in Wildling National Park, K9 search-and-rescue officer Mia Thomas and her border collie Koda are called to lead the search. But what begins as a routine mission turns chilling when Koda leads them to the property of Jack Stanton—the town’s most powerful farmer.
Haunted by a fractured family and a mystic grandmother who lives by the laws of the land, Mia has always existed on the fringe of Wildling’s tight-knit community. She knows better than to cross one of its most powerful men, but when the case takes an unexpected turn, her instincts won’t let her walk away.
As danger closes in and the snow begins to fall, Mia must face the truth about Wildling and herself before the next girl goes missing.
Atmospheric, emotional, and impossible to put down, Wildling Road is a gripping Australian rural noir that explores courage, belonging, and the unbreakable bond between a woman and her dog.
"A search-and-rescue officer triumphs over her past in this intriguing mystery."
