New from the author of SWIMMING IN SILK. I think we sold a couple copies of Williams’ first novel. Williams is Australian and winner of the Vogel Literary Award. This one is about a very small town in the Australian outback. Two brothers are exploring when one of them goes missing. Then a young girl from this small community is found dead in Sydney, an apparent suicide. The feuds and obsessions of the town, strained by these traumas begin to surface. A drunken detective begins to find the pieces to an old puzzle. Call it psychological suspense.   #16930
