Description
Left alone on the vast cattle station with her baby while her husband, Alex, works the farm, Hallie Donaldson is having trouble adjusting to the flies, dust, snakes and isolation in the Flinders Ranges.
At least today, Hallie knows that she and their daughter Ruby can watch Alex on the security camera erected at the windmill where he'll be working. But something goes horribly wrong and he suddenly disappears from view.
Alex is found later, dead at the bottom of the windmill.
After Alex's death, Hallie discovers an alarming series of phone messages sent to a still-shared link on Alex's phone. A short time later, one of Alex's close friends from agricultural college, Danny Betts, loses his life in another tragic rural accident.
When Hallie reveals the horrifying information she's been keeping secret to Detective Dave Burrows and his partner, Constable Mia Worth, they quickly realise that all is not what it seems.
Praise for Fleur McDonald:
'With a quintessentially outback South Australian setting, Aussie slang aplenty and a great mix of characters, Broad River Station will delight new and long-time readers of McDonald, who shows once again why she is known as the Voice of the Outback.' Better Reading
'Fleur McDonald is a master of the rural suspense novel, her characters and storyline crackle with authenticity.' Family Circle on Broad River Station
'Intense, gritty and filled with humour.' Brenda's Book Reviews on Into the Night
'Dave is tough, loyal, full of integrity, but he doesn't mind bending the rules to get the "right-justice" outcome.' Queensland Reviewers Collective on Shock Waves
