Summary

Story One – The Lead Masks of Vintém Hill During August of 1966, the dead bodies of two men were found on a hillside in Brazil. Much of what was discovered at the scene would leave authorities baffled and has never been fully understood. What we are left with is a fifty-year-old mystery known as the Lead Masks of Vintém Hill. Story Two – The Watervale Runner Somewhere in South Australia, a small town holds a mystery in the palm of its hand. The disappearance of a young woman in October 2016 would turn the community upside-down and leave residents and local police questioning what happened to the Watervale Runner.
