The Van Diemen Cipher

$35.00
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.
