CANTICLE CREEK
Two bodies. One long hot summer. A town that will never be the same.
When Adam Lawson's wrecked car is found a kilometer from Daisy Baker's body, the whole town assumes it's an open and shut case. But Jesse Redpath isn't from Canticle Creek. Where she comes from, the truth often hides in plain sight, but only if you know where to look.
When Jesse starts to ask awkward questions, she uncovers a town full of contradictions and a cast of characters with dark pasts, secrets to hide and even more to lose. As the temperature soars, and the ground bakes, the wilderness surrounding Canticle Creek becomes a powder keg waiting to explode. All it needs is one spark.
From the author: "For many years I've been passionate about the Australian wilderness I've lived in its deserts and forests, I was born and raised on its hardscrabble plains. The land matters, and it's in peril. Climate change is real and seemingly unstoppable but still I hope; I write because words are my only defense against this implacable enemy. Jesse Redpath is a Territorian cop who's been taught to care for country, and in Canticle Creek, while investigating a suspicious death, she deals with loggers, underworld crims, artists, greenies, property developers and other police, and learns that sometimes it's hard to be sure just who the good guys are."
Adrian Hyland is the award-winning author of Diamond Dove, Gunshot Road and Kinglake-350, which was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Award for non-fiction in 2012.
