En savoir plus sur le livre
Set in the harsh Australian outback, this gripping debut crime novel explores the lingering grief and guilt surrounding the unsolved disappearance of young Evelyn McCreery, which has haunted the small farming community of Nannine for nineteen years. Once a bustling hub, Nannine has dwindled to little more than a stoplight, a couple of bars, and a police station, its decline exacerbated by relentless drought. Mina McCreery, Evelyn's sister, has lived her life under the shadow of her sister's case, which remains a hot topic in true-crime circles. Now a reclusive adult, Mina resides alone on her family's desolate sheep farm. Enter Lane Holland, a young private investigator who left the police academy to pursue cold cases. Before her death, Mina's mother established a million-dollar reward for information about Evelyn's disappearance, intensifying public fascination but yielding no answers. Lane earns Mina's trust through unconventional methods, but his darker motivations threaten both their lives as his obsession with the case deepens. This compelling narrative weaves together themes of trauma, public scrutiny, and the relentless pursuit of truth, ultimately revealing how personal tragedies can become communal burdens and the power of secrets waiting to be uncovered.
