Creature of an Ancient Dreaming

A fisherman finds an unidentified head in a waterhole in Northern Australia. It seems to belong to a huge and ancient crocodile living there that does not want to let it go. The police investigate and are awed by this crocodile. What appeared to be a crocodile attack turns into murder. Who is this victim? No one seems to know. This book follows the consequences of the actions of Susan, an English backpacker, who comes to Australia in the previous book and gets caught in a terrifying relationship. She escapes and her future seems bright. But slowly and inexorably the truth of what happened in Australia emerges. The police have her photo. They are closing in on her identity. It seems to Susan that the malevolent spirit of the crocodile which pursued her in the first book is slowly taking her over and consuming her mind. She must make terrible choices to save herself and her sanity and avoid another betrayal. She has her former lover's diary, she hopes it holds the key.
