    🌽 Farm-to-table restaurant owner and harvest festival organizer Harvest "Harry" Moon is preparing the town's annual Fall Harvest Festival when the festival's wealthy patron—a ruthless land developer—is found dead in the prize-winning pumpkin display, a cornucopia of autumn produce suspiciously arranged around the body. The police suspect a accidental collapse, but Harry notices the produce has been deliberately contaminated and the victim's land acquisition papers contain coded messages about farm foreclosures. With the harvest festival in jeopardy and the farming community in turmoil, Harry must reap the truth from this field of deception. Assisted by her restaurant staff and the handsome agricultural inspector analyzing the tainted produce, Harry uncovers a scheme involving crop sabotage, water rights theft, and a plot to force local farms into bankruptcy. From suspicious pesticide residues that reveal deliberate contamination to soil samples that don't match the farm's organic certification, every vegetable tells a story. But when Harry discovers the victim was systematically poisoning crops to devalue farmland for development, she realizes the killer is protecting family farms more precious than any real estate deal. With the harvest moon celebration approaching and the real saboteur still sowing chaos, Harry must gather the evidence before her own farm-to-table dream gets permanently plowed under.

What are the secrets The Seven are so desperate to keep hidden? 
 
With the killer still on the loose and events spiralling out of control, the closer Ivan and Nell get to discovering the truth, the more dangerous their investigation becomes. Can they crack the case before more people die?

    Paul Cutler is a former undercover operative, now working off the books for his handler, Malik Khalil. When Cutler is tasked with investigating the disappearance of an Australian marine scientist on a Taiwanese distant water fishing vessel, Cutler realises that the apparent murder he’s investigating points to a slew of much darker crimes. Onboard, Cutler discovers that the vessel’s crew members are kept as slaves, subject to brutal punishment and forced to work long hours with little rest. And when he learns of the recent massacre of the crew of an Indonesian fishing vessel in the same waters, he realises his quest for the truth will be meaningless if he cannot escape with his life. 
 
‘A ripping page-turner about shameful secrets just across the horizon – the subsidised rape of our oceans and the enslavement of the mariners who labour in the ravenous maw of industrial fishing.’ TIM WINTON 
‘Sharp and insightful, Cutler is a highly charged slow-burn thriller and an unflinching portrayal of the perilous state of our oceans and the dark side of the fishing industry. A prescient, urgent story for our times.’ SARA FOSTER
