When 17-year-old Belle Smith is reported missing, the Darfield police are busy fighting one of the worst bushfires the region has ever faced. Twenty years later, the case that gripped the nation is resurrected when a smash hit podcast Into The Flames is released, posing the question: just what happened to Belle Smith? With public interest increasing in the cold case, DS Nick Vada is tasked with returning to Darfield to once again look into Belle's disappearance.

Detective Sergeant Nick Vada thought he had left the past behind when he moved to the bustling streets of Sydney. But when his sister's wedding brings him back to the sleepy farming town of Milford, he's forced to confront memories he'd rather forget. What should have been a joyful family reunion quickly turns sinister when a body is discovered on the homestead of Warranilla, the largest farm in the region. The deeper Nick delves, the more he finds parallels in the 1992 murder of his own mother, and he feels that the victim's death is connected to events from his own past.

Be Still My Soul is written for the grieving Christian and anyone who wants to know the reason for the hope the Christian has in death. When confronted with death we often seek comfort in our grief, hope in our loss, and rest in our suffering.

Grief isn't on our radar until we're in the midst of it. You don't wake up one morning expecting someone so young and full of energy, someone you love and care about so much...to die. But then there it is. The fierce, dark, and consuming storm. Not just the kind that rains. The kind that tears and uproots. We will all have to face one at some time in our lives.
