Luke Hadler turns a gun on his wife and child, then himself. The farming community of Kiewarra is facing life and death choices daily. If one of their own broke under the strain, well ...

And as Falk probes deeper into the killings, old wounds are reopened. For Falk and his childhood friend Luke shared a secret ... A secret Falk thought long-buried ... A secret which Luke's death starts to bring to the surface ...

Loved it
Loved it!! I was skeptical at first being a "Crime Thriller" ( not my normal genre )..but I must admit I was totally absorbed from the beginning and didn't want to put it down.
A small country town, definitely with big secrets that are slowly revealed... keeping you guessing throughout with a surprising twist at the end which is very satisfying.
Can't wait for more from this new Australian Author, JANE HARPER. - Roxanne
