Sobre este e-book
Perfect isolation. No phones. No neighbors. No help.
Ex-cop turned criminal lawyer Tim Fontaine and his wife Amy are heading for their weekender – a restored farmhouse in remote bushland known as Black Pig Bend.
But even before they've eaten dinner, three outlaw bikers arrive on the scene. Suddenly Tim's house becomes a fortress. Who are these people? Why have they come? Who sent them?
As the lights go out and darkness descends, their idyllic world is transformed into a nightmare from which there is no waking up. Tim must grapple not just with formidable adversaries, but with unsettling questions relating to his own past, both as cop and lawyer, and even to his marriage.
But even if they survive this night against appalling odds, the ordeal is far from over. For when the past comes knocking, it will not be denied ...
"Not for the faint hearted" – Shane Maloney, author of the Murray Whelan series
"8 Hours to Die scorches along relentlessly, displaying all of JR Carroll's trademark thriller-writing skills: hard-edged prose, vivid characterisation, a strong sense of place and tense plotting." – Garry Disher, author of the Wyatt series and the Challis & Destry series
