About the book:
“The man lay still in the centre of a dusty grave under a monstrous sky.
Two brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland.
They are at the stockman’s grave, a landmark so old, no -one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last chance for their middle brother, Cameron.
The Bright family’s quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he lose hope and walk to his death? Because if he didn’t, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects.
For readers who loved “The Dry” and “Force of Nature”, Jane Harper has once again created a powerful story of suspense, set against a dazzling landscape.”
About the venue:
Something for all us book lovers I hope. Aside from abundant inspiration for our book list it has a lovely wine bar and cafe on the first floor which is where we will meet. There is reasonably priced parking nearby as well as plenty of buses that stop just outside.
