About this audiobook
A town ruled by fear. A cop who won't be broken. A pulse-pounding debut thriller that pulls no punches.
Queensland in 1976 churns with corruption. When Detective Ray Windsor defies it, he is exiled deep into the state's west. It's easy out there to feel alien in your own country.
Royalton is a town on its knees, stricken by drought, riven by prejudice, and plagued by crimes left largely uninvestigated by the local police chief, Kennedy, and his elusive boss.
Mutual dislike between Kennedy and Ray gradually turns ugly as Ray and his new partner, Arshag, uncover a pattern of crimes that no one seems concerned about solving. But when two girls from local immigrant families are found dead and another disappears, Ray and Arshag are forced to take the law into their own hands. Not knowing who to trust, nor how deep the corruption runs, how long will it be before their lives are also threatened?
‘Fast-paced and brilliantly executed' MICHAEL BRISSENDEN
‘Wake in Fright meets The Moonlight State' PAUL DALEY
‘Gritty hardboiled and immediately compelling' GABRIEL BERGMOSEN
‘Gets you like a punch in the throat' BEN HOBSON
