ABOUT THE BOOK
The third thrilling Kalgoorlie-set rural crime novel from the bestselling author of The Prospect and The Missing.
At five, Molly Walker was placed in witness protection after seeing her birth mother Sammi's murder. Twenty years later, everyone assumes the threat has passed. Then Molly's adoptive parents are killed in a car accident, on the same day the police commissioner announces the re-investigation of Constable Sammi Walker's murder. Coincidence or something more sinister? Detective Jack Higgins doesn't believe in coincidences. And as he looks into the accident, it becomes clear that this was a deliberate act. But is Molly still in danger, so long after the original crime?
Set against the backdrop of the blood-red soil of Kalgoorlie, long-buried lies continue to surface, while someone is becoming increasingly desperate to keep them hidden.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bestselling rural crime author Fleur McDonald has always had a strong affinity with the land and the vast Australian outback. Raised in Orroroo, South Australia, Fleur loves the open roads, red dust and magical sunsets. With 24 fiction novels and more than 950,000 book sales to her name, Fleur has built a strong following of loyal readers with an insatiable appetite for her craft and characters, most notably Detective Dave Burrows.
She spends much of her year behind the wheel, traversing our big country, scouting inspiration and potential storylines for future books, and appearing as a guest speaker at a range of events, including country shows, ladies’ days and writers’ festivals. A trailblazer in all aspects of her life, Fleur has been a jillaroo farming the land for more than 20 years, founded DVassist to help regional dwellers access crucial support for family and domestic violence, and raised two children with developmental and speech delays, teaching them Makaton sign language to communicate. These days, in between putting out two books a year, she has her sights set on learning to fly a plane. Fleur lives in Esperance, Western Australia with her two children, Rochelle and Hayden, who come and go as they please and an energetic border collie Shadow.
