A camp run by police, filled with troubled children who were being given a special few days – the Dandenong Ranges in country Victoria; bitterly cold; violent thunderstorms with driving rain and lightning cracking overhead. It couldn’t get more terrifying than that – but yes, it could. Twelve-year-old Hannah and her two younger brothers, Riley and Cooper had gone missing on the first afternoon of the camp, just as the storm was settling in…

Journalist Georgie Harvey was with the group at the camp A camp run by police, filled with troubled children who were being given a special few days – the Dandenong Ranges in country Victoria; bitterly cold; violent thunderstorms with driving rain and lightning cracking overhead. It couldn’t get more terrifying than that – but yes, it could. Twelve-year-old Hannah and her two younger brothers, Riley and Cooper had gone missing on the first afternoon of the camp, just as the storm was settling in…

Journalist Georgie Harvey was with the group at the camp, as well as Senior Constable John Franklin’s daughter Kat, rookie Constable Sam Tesorino and Sergeant Tim Lunny and the pressure was mounting. The weather was atrocious, the conditions worse – the surrounding bush dense and frightening with the heavy fog shrouding the area. They all knew they needed to find the kids, and fast. The scenarios they were all thinking; the outcome they were hoping for against the one they dreaded – could they get a good result from something that wasn’t shaping up that way?

With local volunteers, SES (State Emergency Service), police pulled in from outlying areas – the ground was covered in searchers. But would it be enough? When John Franklin joined them from his post in Ballarat, he gave the others confidence. Determined to find the youngsters, no one slept – coffee was their staple, while Georgie conducted her own searches on the internet. What she found chilled her to the bone…

Into the Fog is the 3rd in the Harvey and Franklin series by Aussie author Sandi Wallace. Set in the rugged bushland of Victoria, not far from Melbourne, it’s easy to visualize the dense fog, the darkness of the bush and its sinister surroundings. The distraught parents; the desperation of the police; the terror of the missing. The cover is perfect for the book – eerie, atmospheric and chilling. An excellent follow on in the lives of Georgie Harvey and John Franklin, Into the Fog is one I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

With thanks to the author for my digital ARC to read and review.
