Outback noir has a new star Mark Sanderson The Times A rising star of crime fiction Joan Smith
Sunday Times With DS Manolis on leave in Greece Senior Constable Sparrow receives a phone call
from a man who wants to turn himself in. Bob is sixty-five years old confined to a Perth
nursing home. But thirty years ago he killed a man in the remote northern Kimberley mining
region. He offers to show Sparrow where the body is but there's a catch: Sparrow must travel
north with him under the guise of being his carer. They are accompanied on the drive by another
nursing home resident: Luke thirty years old paralysed in a motorbike accident. As they
embark on their road trip through the guts of Western Australia pursued by outback police and
adrenaline-soaked miners Sparrow begins to suspect that Bob's desire to head north may have
sinister motivations. Is Luke being held against his will? And what lies in store for them when
they reach their goal?
