The exciting new rural thriller from the bestselling author of WILD DOGS and NO TRACE.
Someone is stalking gold hunters. Now a bushman is stalking them . . .
Terry Drage is not the first amateur gold prospector to rock up to the Murchison Hotel, brag about an exciting discovery – and then vanish into thin air. But Gabe Ahern is determined he will be the last.
No one knows the land around the remote Western Australian town of Cue better than Gabe – a wild dog trapper who’s in his element in the bush. Feeling responsible for his friend’s fate, he races there to join the search.
But it won’t be an easy ride. For a start the local cops seem sure Terry going missing is nothing more than a tragic accident. It’s down to Gabe to spot the sinister pattern of disappearances and deaths in recent years.
Plus, the last time Gabe was in his old home town it was under the very worst of circumstances. And now, to stop a killer, he’ll need to confront the ghosts from his past . .
Michael Trant is a WA country boy now residing in Perth after a variety of careers ranging from farmer, marine draftsman, pastoralist and FIFO pot washer.
Michael writes with an authentic rural voice, drawing on his experiences to open readers to places and lifestyles foreign to many.
