NOW
Joy whips her dead father with the belt he used to beat her with.

She returned to her childhood home to nurse him. Her ‘perfect’ sister, Ruth, is also there, whispering dark words, urging revenge. But the family farm harbours dark secrets.

He confesses to an unspeakable crime as he lies dying.

THEN
Two sisters growing up in rural Victoria on an isolated homestead. One perfect, the other a “dirty, filthy sinner”. Their father a religious bigot. And in that cold, wet summer of 1960, a little girl disappears.

NOW
Senior Constable Alex Shepherd is summoned to the scene by the family doctor. He’s immediately suspicious.

Did Joy murder her father?

Effortlessly propelling the reader back and forth between past and present, Lyn Yeowart’s unforgettable debut set in the dark, gothic heart of rural Australia richly rewards the reader with its explosive conclusion.

This electrifying literary thriller will be devoured by fans of The Lovely Bones, Top of the Lake, Eve Chase’s The Glass House, Delia Owens, Gillian Flynn, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
