Description
In a drought-stricken Australian town still haunted by a shocking act of violence, journalist Martin Scarsden arrives to investigate the events that shattered the community a year earlier. As he digs into the past, long-buried secrets, conflicting testimonies, and a climate of fear begin to surface. Set against the harsh, vividly rendered landscape of the Australian outback, this atmospheric crime novel explores guilt, grief, community, and the ways truth can be manipulated. Tense, immersive, and richly detailed, it marks a compelling debut from a distinctive voice in Australian crime fiction.
