Detective Dave Burrows returns in another breathtaking tale of rural suspense from the bestselling author of Rising Dust.
A fire, a missing man and his dog send Dave and his partner Bob Holden south of Perth, to investigate. Leo Perry has been missing for two days when they realise, he's probably not dead. In fact he's more likely to have left his life in exchange for a new one. But why?
They find CCTV footage showing them that Leo is alive, only two days earlier, but then disaster strikes. A phone call from the Meekatharra Police station changes everything that Dave and Bob already know about the case.
Praise for Rising Dust:
'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
'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
