The Black Seam

When psychiatrist Eleanor Whitman receives a chilling blackmail threat, she turns to George ‘Magpie’ Collins for help. But what begins as a case of quiet extortion quickly leads the detective into a web of medical manipulation, corporate corruption, and a deadly mining disaster long buried beneath the coalfields of Wollongong. To expose the truth, Collins must face the darkest depths of industry and memory–where justice comes late, and only if you’re willing to dig for it.
