Who Killed Khloe?

Backstroking languidly across the surface of the quarry, Khloe felt the silty water slide over her body as Jake sat smoking a joint and taking in the view from the shore. A gentle breeze meandered through the eucalypts and a couple of rogue ducks skimmed across the water. The afternoon sun warmed her face and it was great to be alive…

Set in the sprawling satellite city of Logan, Who Killed Khloe? opens with the school cleaner’s gruesome discovery of a fifteen-year-old girl’s body in the boys’ toilets of Logan Park State High School. The body is identified as that of Khloe Jackson and initial impressions paint Khloe as a stereotypically shallow, selfie-addicted millennial teen. Khloe’s boyfriend, Jake, is nowhere to be found…

Single mother Detective Shayne Christie and Constable Matt Jacobs lead the investigation. Soon enough, Logan’s dark underbelly rears its ugly head as council corruption, and a grubby online trail of child exploitation is exposed.

Through the course of the narrative, the ripple effect of Khloe’s death profoundly shakes the foundations of three Logan families and Detective Christie is compelled to reflect on the pressures faced by modern parents and their children in a dynamic, digital world.
