Description
High Wire, Candice Fox's breathtaking outback thriller, is quite literally the bomb! It is a high-octane race through the wildlands of Australia, soon to be adapted for Apple TV+ by Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions.
'Tense, gripping and totally terrifying - High Wire is not to be missed.' – Kathy Reichs
'High Wire is yet more proof, as if we needed it, that Candice Fox is the queen of Aussie crime.' – Hayley Scrivenor
'Tense, pacy, High Wire starts at full bore and doesn't let up.' – Garry Disher
You only take the High Wire if you're desperate—or up to no good.
A notorious unmarked track through outback Australia, the 'Wire' crosses slabs of lawless land, body-dumping grounds and mobile phone blackspots.
Senior Sergeant Edna Norris knows all too well that her jurisdiction—covering 200,000 square kilometres of the South Australia desert—is the place where people go to disappear. But nothing could have prepared her for today's rapidly unfolding crime spree—a runaway teenager, a burned-out car, a missing woman, a bank robbery, and a bullet-riddled body.
Further down the High Wire, Harvey Buck and Clare Holland are strangers thrust together for the road trip from hell. Ambushed on the roadside by a vengeful crew, the pair are being forced to commit a series of increasingly murderous missions.
Edna Norris is hot on their trail. But catching up to them might mean becoming part of their living nightmare...
'Fox writes cinematic action with moody characters, a high-octane plot, amid a Wake in Fright-like atmosphere of absurdity and menace.' – Sydney Morning Herald, Fiction Pick of the Week

About the Author
Candice Fox is the author of eleven crime novels and the winner of three prestigious Ned Kelly Awards. In fact, she is the only author to have been shortlisted for that award for every single novel. She has also co-written seven New York Times bestsellers with James Patterson, the world's bestselling thriller writer. Candice's novels Crimson Lake and Redemption Point were adapted into a major ABC TV series called Troppo. A meticulous researcher, Candice has interviewed a serial killer on Death Row, been to prison three times (for work purposes) and while on honeymoon in the US took a road trip to famous crime scenes looking for clues. She has also dined with a former President of the United States, filmed a cameo role in her latest screen adaptation and, as a volunteer for WIRES, has rescued countless wild animals. She lives in Sydney.
