The Schnitzel Brothers

Robert Maddison

Three pairs of shoes.
Neatly placed. Facing the river.

When Park Ranger Maddie Bennett discovers the strange display at a pristine campsite along the Murray River, she senses something is deeply wrong. Within hours, three young men are reported missing.

Detective Cooper Summers is drawn into an investigation that quickly spirals into something darker than anyone imagined. With no witnesses, no tyre tracks and almost no forensic trace, the only signature left behind is the careful arrangement of shoes.

But this is no random act.

Twin brothers Angus and Scott Robinson have waited years for justice. Haunted by brutal school bullying and the tragic death of their sister, they have become meticulous architects of revenge. And they are only just getting started.

As the body count rises and the community begins to panic, Maddie and Cooper must untangle a web of past cruelty, buried trauma and calculated vengeance — before the twins strike again.

Set against the haunting beauty of rural Australia, The Schnitzel Brothers is a gripping psychological thriller about memory, rage and the devastating cost of payback.
