Detective Dave Burrows returns in another breathtaking tale of rural suspense.
'Another winning rural Aussie crime suspense tale.' Mrs B's Book Reviews
'I
continue to appreciate that I always come away with some newfound
knowledge. McDonald's effortless references to details about stock
numbers or sheep shearing practices aside, it feels as if I (myself)
have ventured a little into rural Australia. (But lived to tell the
tale.)' Debbish.com
After the family's devastating tragedy,
Detective Dave Burrows is crystal clear that his wife, Mel, is no longer
interested in their marriage.
Before Dave can talk to Mel, he
and his partner, Bob Holden, are sent to investigate a suspected sheep
stealing at a station north of Carnarvon, where they very quickly
realise that this crime is a lot more than just stock theft.
As
a ferocious tropical storm floods the airstrip and uncovers more than
anyone expected, Dave and Bob find themselves isolated, outnumbered and
in extraordinary danger. Dave has to confront the guilt and trauma of
his past before he can move forward. And perhaps there's no way out this
time.
'Fleur McDonald is a master of the rural suspense novel, her characters and storyline crackle with authenticity.' Family Circle
'Nobody does rural fiction quite like Fleur McDonald.' Weekly Times
