Author Fleur McDonald is back with a third addition to her thrilling detective Dave Burrows series.
Coming off the back of the 2019 Without a Doubt, Red Dirt Country takes Dave back to Perth to reunite with his pregnant wife Melinda and their young daughter, Bec, following a near-fatal undercover case in rural Queensland.
This return lands Dave as a Detective Senior Constable in the stock squad, which leads him to become involved in a case in the north of Western Australia that holds an underbelly of radical divide of two cattle stations deep in family secrets, long-repeated lies, kidnapping and murder.
This investigation not only presents a history of disappearances and grief to match, it also issues Dave with a range of family problems, including an ultimatum from his unhappy wife following dreams sparked from the horrors of the Queensland job.
With the prospect of going back to Queensland to give further evidence as a protected witness, Dave faces one of the biggest challenges of his career and has the heartbreaking prospect of losing his family.
Red Dirt Country sees Fleur McDonald draw from the wealth of farm experience to illustrate the story of small communities, family, friendship, love and mystery in a gripping crime story.
