Description
Something has drawn Emily Tempest back to Central Australia — to Moonlight Downs, the community she left half a lifetime ago. Not much has changed; the barefoot kids are bush mechanics now, but Emily still doesn't know if she belongs in the Aboriginal world or the white. And trouble still seems to follow her.
Within hours of her arrival, an old friend lies brutally murdered and mutilated, an old enemy the only suspect. Until Emily starts asking questions.
Diamond Dove is a gripping story steeped in the vivid landscape and cultures of the Australian outback. Adrian Hyland delivers a compelling tale of mystery and identity, perfect for anyone who enjoys rich storytelling with unforgettable characters.
