The Van Diemen Cipher

A gripping historical thriller set deep in the convict shadows of Tasmania.

Two hundred years ago, a convict escaped through Hell’s Gates with a blood-soaked crucifix and a secret worth killing for. He left behind a cryptic warning—ignored for generations—until now.

When Hobart historian Dr Elizabeth O’Connor inherits a weathered journal and a fragment of a coded colonial map, she expects dusty trivia. Instead, her discovery triggers a brutal murder, a manhunt, and a desperate race across Tasmania’s wild heart. Hunted by a ruthless collector obsessed with convict relics, Elizabeth joins forces with an ex-Army codebreaker and an investigative journalist to unearth the truth behind one of Australia’s darkest legends.

From the storm-lashed ruins of Sarah Island to the drowning tides of Macquarie Harbour, every step leads deeper into danger—and toward a truth buried beneath centuries of blood and silence.

The Van Diemen Cipher blends historical suspense, real Tasmanian locations, and pulse-pounding mystery in a story where every clue is a trap, every riddle deadly, and the ocean keeps its secrets longer than you can hold your breath.

Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Dan Brown, and Steve Berry.
