Bone Lands

‘A gripping read right to the end.’ - Meredith Jaffe

‘Bone Lands is incredibly evocative. You can taste the dust and feel the searing heat as Mounted Trooper Hawkins investigates the brutal murder of three settler children. Hawkins is a terrifically authentic character and this is high quality writing - sharp and descriptive - that doesn’t flinch or look away.’ - David Whish-Wilson

‘Bone Lands is what you get if Breaker Morant comes home damaged and unmoored, takes a job policing the brutal grandfathers of the unhinged men of Wake in Fright, and collides with the ruthless corruption of money, power and pride. Propulsive, atmospheric and utterly compelling, Bone Lands keeps faith with both the history and its purpose, delivering a cracking yarn that drives to a shocking conclusion. With desperate characters trapped in the irons of a rigid social code, and tormented by unbounded colonial greed like the ruined landscape around them, it’s The Unforgiven mixed with Blue Murder and Sunday Too Far Away, dipped in the Iliad, in the register of Blood Meridian.’ - John Byron
