N2  - National parks ranger Jo Lockwood is often alone in the wilderness, and she likes it that way until she discovers the body of a man, brutally murdered. Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Matheson knows organised crime and gang violence from the inside out. His posting to the north-western NSW district of Strathnairn is supposed to be an uneventful return to normal duties, but the murder victim is only the first of Jo's discoveries. As the body count rises and Jo and Nick uncover drugs and illegal weapons stashed in the wilderness, Nick becomes convinced that one person is manipulating local lads to commit horrific crimes, forming them into his own private drug-dealing cartel. Jo has seen the man's face, and now she's his next target
