Mangled fingers have been turning up all over Australia and the inhabitants are scared. Ten murders in ten weeks, all committed with a knife, and still nobody has a clue who the tight-fisted killer is.

Ms Zoe Vader is a stunning and charming actor with a fondness for bird watching. She doesn't know it yet but she is the only one who can stop the wild killer.

She enlists the help of a helpful painter called Warwick Cockle.

Can Cockle help Vader overcome her Vaseline addiction and find the answers before the sinister killer and his deadly knife strike again?
