IT IS THE EARLY 1980S. Greg Bowker is a young senior constable forcibly transferred to a one-officer station in a remote and dying Mallee town.
Welcomed by a brutal combination of heat, dust, isolation and primitive amenities, the new officer expects to waste years of his career in `purgatory'.
He is greeted with warmth by the community but becomes increasingly worried by the behaviour of two delinquent teenagers, one of whose family history hides a secret he cannot resist investigating.
A subsequent disappearance and murder set a new challenge for the young officer that leads him down a path into an unspeakable world of darkness and deception.
Purgatory may well reside within the quiet town...
“A stylish and enthralling thriller set amongst the dust and hardship of a small country town that extends to the characters within... Great reading...” Alan, Indie Book reviewer
