'One of the most stunning debuts I've ever read...Read it!' David Baldacci 'Packed with sneaky moves and teasing possibilities that keep the reader guessing...The Dry is a breathless page-turner' Janet Maslin, New York Times THE SIMON MAYO RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB CHOICE AUSTRALIA INDIE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2017 AUSTRALIA INDIE DEBUT OF THE YEAR 2017 WHO REALLY KILLED THE HADLER FAMILY? I just can't understand how someone like him could do something like that. Amid the worst drought to ravage Australia in a century, it hasn't rained in small country town Kiewarra for two years. Tensions in the community become unbearable when three members of the Hadler family are brutally murdered. Everyone thinks Luke Hadler, who committed suicide after slaughtering his wife and six-year-old son, is guilty. Policeman Aaron Falk returns to the town of his youth for the funeral of his childhood best friend, and is unwillingly drawn into the investigation. As questions mount and suspicion spreads through the town, Falk is forced to confront the community that rejected him twenty years earlier. Because Falk and Luke Hadler shared a secret, one which Luke's death threatens to unearth. And as Falk probes deeper into the killings, secrets from his past and why he left home bubble to the surface as he questions the truth of his friend's crime.

Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. Though second-hand, the book is still in very good shape. Minimal signs of usage may include very minor creasing on the cover or on the spine.
In the drought-stricken small town of Kiewarra, five hours out of Melbourne, Australia, the Hadler family is discovered horrifically slaughtered. Only the 13-month-old infant daughter is found alive. Crying.
It looks like the father, Luke, killed his wife, Karen, and his son, Billy. Then committed suicide.
Looks like...
Australian Federal Police investigator Aaron Falk comes home for the funeral. He hasn't been back to Kiewarra in 20 years. Luke Hadler was his childhood friend.
Something doesn't sit right with Aaron and he is soon involved in an off-the-books investigation with the local police sergeant.
What they discover and the secrets that they'll unearth will be shocking. To say the least.
Aaron is involved in a dark secret from the town's past as well.
The first line of this story places the bait in front of you. By the end of the first page the hook is set and you're being reeled-in by the fast-paced, tight-as-a-drum plot brimming with suspense and "breathing" characters.
The sense of place is so good you can feel the dry heat come off the pages.
