The Weipa Crocodile – Bloodlines (Part Three of The Weipa Crocodile Trilogy)

A haunting Australian outback mystery of legacy, redemption, and the spirits that refuse to rest
By Victoria Reiby

One man vanished. One grandson searching. A bloodline bound by spirit, shame, and truth.

In the wild Coen bush of Far North Queensland, Bruce Hudson, a banished Indigenous elder, seeks peace in the land that once condemned him. But the outback remembers. Accused of murder and haunted by ancestral visions, Bruce disappears into legend—leaving only whispers of guilt and redemption behind.

Now, his grandson Justin Reynolds—a man torn between loyalty, addiction, and truth—returns to Cape York’s unforgiving wilderness to uncover what really happened. The trail leads through old mining towns, sacred sites, and drug-ridden coastlines, where every clue exposes another buried betrayal.

As Justin digs deeper into his family’s past, he discovers that some ghosts will not rest until the truth is spoken aloud.

Bloodlines is the explosive finale to the Weipa Crocodile Trilogy, a gritty Australian outback crime series exploring Indigenous identity, family legacy, and spiritual justice in the heart of Far North Queensland’s red-dust frontier.

Perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Chris Hammer, and Melissa Lucashenko, this is outback noir at its most visceral and unforgettable.
