Hot Rock Dreaming

Australia s most famous Aboriginal painter is dead...supposedly killed when a heavy object tumbled onto him in his studio during an earth tremor. But then doubts arise. For a start, the police now suspect murder. And why was the victim heard earlier predicting his own violent death? Enter private detective Johnny Ravine to solve the mystery...he suddenly finds himself thrust into a byzantine world of art and artists where questions are far more numerous than answers. Where did the victim s art dealer obtain the incredibly rare artwork that he was secretly selling? Is the controversial green energy company Rokpower really going to harness power from hot rocks deep under the ground, and did it kill the artist s Dreaming spirit when it injected water onto the rocks? And who is the beautiful and mysterious Asian lady who seems to be able to converse with the dead, and who says she knows how the artist really died? A killer is on the loose and even Johnny s own life is in danger. But first he needs to understand that the death of the artist has unleashed spiritual forces that threaten an entire community."
