This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A dead teenager. An exclusive estate. A story someone wants buried.

When Sudanese-Australian student Aro Chol is found dead on the rocks below the exclusive Chilton Hill estate, police call it a tragic accident. Some residents say he was trying to break in.

Local journalist Audrey Lord isn’t convinced. Aro was bright, hardworking, and determined to build a future — not someone who would throw everything away for a petty crime.

As Audrey digs deeper, she uncovers fractures beneath Chilton Hill’s polished surface: anxious neighbours, protected secrets, and a community desperate to control the story.

Everyone has a version of what happened that night.

And someone is willing to make sure Audrey never finds the truth.

The Stain is an Audrey Lord Mystery, perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven Australian crime fiction, small-town secrets, and socially charged suspense.
