One Missing Girl.
Keine Einschränkungen.
A TOWN ABOUT TO IGNITE.
Quala, eine Zuckerstadt in North Queensland, die 1970er Jahre.
Barbara McClymont geht durch die Zuckerrohrfelder auf der Suche nach Janet, ihrer sechzehnjährigen Tochter, die seit Wochen vermisst wird. Die Polizei hat keine Leinen. Die Menschen von Quala werden durch Angst und Misstrauen geteilt. Doch der Zuckerzerkleinerer ist im Gange und der Stock muss verbrannt werden.
In der Zwischenzeit träumen Kinder von einer böswilligen Präsenz, ein Schullehrer sehnt sich nach der Flucht, und die Geschichte kehrt immer wieder zurück, um Quala daran zu erinnern, dass die Vergangenheit immer präsent ist.
Wenn der Rauch aufsteigt und Spannungen zu einem Kopf kommen, wird das dunkle Herz von Quala offenbart, das das Leben all derjenigen beeinflusst, die über den Stock hinaus wohnen.
The Cane ist ein eindrucksvoller und stimmungsvoller Thriller und kündigt eine aufregende neue Stimme im australischen Kriminalschreiben an.
Ein feiner, mutiger, wahrnehmbarer Schriftsteller. Mark Dapin, Journalist und Autor von Public Enemies.
Ein atemberaubendes Stück australischen ländlichen Noirs. Mark Brandi, Bestseller-Autor von Wimmera und The Rip
