Overview
Step into the dust and heat of the Australian outback with this gripping four-book collection by acclaimed journalist-turned-novelist Chris Hammer. Following disgraced journalist Martin Scarsden across small, secretive towns and into the dangerous currents of big-city corruption, this series blends atmospheric Australian settings with twisty, character-driven crime plotting. From Scrublands through Silver and Trust to the latest installment, Legacy, readers follow Martin's evolution from a man running from his own mistakes to someone finally confronting them head-on. A must-have brand-new paperback set for fans of slow-burn, landscape-driven crime fiction and page-turning Australian mysteries.

About the Books
Chris Hammer's Martin Scarsden series opens with Scrublands, in which journalist Martin Scarsden travels to the drought-ravaged town of Riversend to report on the anniversary of a shocking mass shooting committed by the town's well-liked priest, only to discover the official story is far from the whole truth. The second book, Silver, pulls Martin back to his own hometown of Port Silver after the violent death of an old friend forces him to confront painful memories while a fresh murder investigation unfolds around him and his partner, Mandy. In Trust, the action shifts to the harder edges of Sydney, where Martin is drawn into a tangled web of property deals, dirty money, and dangerous people connected to Mandy's past, raising the stakes well beyond a small-town mystery. Legacy continues Martin's story as he once again finds himself pulled toward uncomfortable truths and the kind of institutional secrets that have defined the series from the start. Across all four novels, Hammer draws on his own background as a journalist to give the books a grounded, investigative feel, layering procedural detail with sharp observations about modern Australia, its politics, and its people. The result is a series that rewards readers who enjoy complex plotting, morally gray characters, and settings so vividly rendered that the landscape itself becomes a character. Collected together, these four paperbacks offer a satisfying way to experience Martin Scarsden's journey from beginning to its most recent chapter in one brand-new set.
