FLEUR McDONALD’S LATEST BOOK

A powerful and poignant rural family story told by the acclaimed Fleur McDonald, bestselling author of Broad River Station and Into the Night.

Sassi Stapleton is called home after news her grandmother is unwell. Less than an hour away from her hometown, Barker, she swerves to miss a roo and her car rolls down an embankment and she’s left hanging. By the time she is found, her grandmother has already passed away.

Sassi’s mother, Amber, returns from South Africa, and as soon as she arrives family tensions between her and her brother, Abe, are back in the forefront of everyone’s minds.

When it quickly becomes clear that Sassi’s grandfather Mr Stapleton is unable to live alone, the hunt is on to find a carer. Rasha enters the family home, firmly entrenching herself as someone they can’t do without, and before long Mr Stapleton is happier than he has been in years.

Then bruises start appearing on Mr Stapleton and he becomes withdrawn, refusing to talk even to Sassi.

None of the family are convinced that Rasha could hurt anyone. Amber is his daughter; Sassi, his granddaughter. None of these three could hurt Mr Stapleton.

Or could they?

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.
