The three Bright brothers are the overseers of 3,500 square kilometers of land in Queensland, Australia with hours between each of their homes. It’s a vast, unforgiving environment, and no one ever goes far without a full complement of supplies. When 40-year-old Cameron sets out on his own, ostensibly to fix a repeater mast, he never comes home. His body is eventually spotted, but what was Cam doing? What was his Land Cruiser doing nine kilometers away, still fully stocked with supplies, with the keys left neatly on the front seat?

The mystery of Cam’s death is at the dark heart of an unfolding family drama. A twisty slow burner by an author at the top of her game.
