DISCOVER A SEARING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER THAT WILL HAVE YOU GRIPPED FROM THE FIRST PAGE.
Two sisters.
Their dying father.
A deadly secret.
What could your dying father tell you that would make you want to murder him?
Joy Henderson lived in constant fear of her father as a child. Now she returns to the family’s farm to nurse him on his death bed. To her surprise, her ‘perfect’ sister Ruth is also there, whispering dark words, urging revenge.
Then, the day after their father finally confesses to a horrific crime, Joy finds him dead — with a belt pulled tight around his neck.
For policeman Alex Shepherd, George’s murder revives memories of a cold case from that strange summer of 1960: the disappearance of nine-year-old Wendy Boscombe.
As Shepherd probes deeper, an intricate web of secrets and lies woven across decades starts to unravel. Wendy’s disappearance is just the beginning.
Effortlessly propelling the reader back and forth between past and present, Lyn Yeowart’s unforgettable debut set in the dark, gothic heart of rural Australia richly rewards the reader with its explosive conclusion.
