“You could search for something until you died out here and never find it. There’s too much bloody space.”
The Australian outback is unforgiving and dangerous. Those that live there know all too well. So when Cam, a middle brother to a troubled family, is found way too many kilometers from his car with no water in sight - there are a lot of questions the brothers and family left must grapple with.

The characters are very compelling and honest. I will definitely read another book by this author. ...more

I really enjoyed this mystery novel. It reminded me of an old fashion mystery where all the possible suspects are together and the sleuth has to determine which one did it.
