The Serpent's Tooth Island

Synopsis

On the remote, mist-shrouded shores of the Serpent's Tooth Island, a place whispered about in hushed tones by mainlanders, a shocking discovery shatters the island's tranquil facade. A renowned archaeologist is found dead, her body discovered near an ancient, newly unearthed cave. The local fishermen, guardians of the island's secrets, are the only witnesses, but their silence is as deep as the ocean surrounding them. Enter Detective Sergeant Liam O’Connell, a young officer from the mainland, thrust into a world far removed from his urban policing experience. Paired with Dr. Aris Thorne, a brilliant but enigmatic archaeologist who was close to the victim, Liam must navigate the treacherous waters of tribal customs, cryptic clues, and a history steeped in ancient rituals. As they delve deeper into the island's past, unearthing the secrets of a long-lost culture, they realise the murder is not just a crime of passion, but a desperate act to protect an ancient power that should never have been disturbed. The island's true nature begins to reveal itself, and Liam and Aris find themselves in a race against time, where the next victim could be anyone, and the truth is buried deeper than any ancient ruin.
