Wild Dogs is a page-turning action thriller set in the WA outback, introducing Australia's answer to Jack Reacher.

'Tough, fast and hard - my kind of book.' - Lee Child

In the drought-ridden rangelands of Western Australia, Gabe Ahern makes his living trapping wild dogs for local station owners. Still coming to terms with his wife's death - and the part he played in it - the old bushman leads a solitary life. Until one morning, when he rescues a young Afghan man, Amin, from certain execution.

Now, with a gang of people smugglers on his tail and the lives of Amin's family on the line, Gabe is drawn into a ruthless game of cat and mouse. His main opponent is Chase Fowler, a kangaroo hunter with bush skills as wily and sharp as his own. As the old dogger and roo-shooter go head to head, Gabe will need all his cunning to come out of this alive...

'This hard-bitten action novel reads like an Aussie western ... The book's setting is atmospheric, and its action sequences surge with adrenaline and suspense as a deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds.' - Sydney Morning Herald
