Night falls. In a lonely valley called the Sink, four people prepare for a quiet evening.

Then in his orchard, Murray Jaccob sees a moving shadow. Across the swamp, his neighbour Ronnie watches her lover leave and feels her baby roll inside her. And on the verandah of the Stubbses' house, a small dog is torn screaming from its leash by something unseen.

Nothing will ever be the same again.

In the Winter Dark by Tim Winton weaves a tale of suspense and transformation in a remote, shadowy setting where every action reverberates through the lives of its inhabitants.
