FLEUR McDONALD’S LATEST BOOK

Detective Dave Burrows returns in another breathtaking tale of rural suspense.

Detective Dave Burrows is devastated. After an acrimonious divorce, Dave has no choice but to let his ex-wife and her father Mark call the shots: supervised, one-hour visits are all he’s allowed if he wants to see his two young daughters. And he knows he’ll jump through any hoops to see Bec and Alice.

On Leo Perry’s farm, sixty kilometers out of Yorkenup, the only positive in Leo’s day is the unswerving loyalty of his dog, Coffee. Thanks to yet another power outage, Leo is out in the morning heat, refueling the water pump. But seconds later he watches in horror as the tank explodes. Flames engulf wooden beams and sparks ignite grass just as Leo realises he’s at the end of a one-way petrol trail, the fire roaring straight for him.

When Dave and his partner Detective Bob Holden are called to Leo’s ravaged farm, they’re unclear if they’re dealing with arson, suicide or something else. There’s been no sign of Leo anywhere, and his wife Jill is distraught. Leo and his dog appear to have vanished. But, when Dave and Bob begin their investigation, what they find makes no sense at all.

Detective Dave Burrows

Tough, loyal, and full of integrity, he’s a formidable Detective. Dave Burrows is a character who features in many of Fleur’s rural novels. After writing several novels with Detective Dave as a secondary character, Fleur felt he really deserved his own series to shine.

Although Detective Dave appears in many of Fleur’s novels, it was in 2018, that he finally got the spotlight in Fool’s Gold, the first of what would become the young Dave series, following Detective Burrows early career. Dave is much loved by his adoring readers, men and women alike and Fleur continues to love to write about his adventures and escapades. He will be featured in many books to come.
