In his latest book
The Broken River Lucic and Buchanan return in this masterclass of
unmissable thrills and jaw-dropping twists. Three murders. A secret
buried in gold. A body has been discovered on the riverbanks of The
Valley, a remote community in the hills of New South Wales. The victim
is Wolfgang Burnside, deputy mayor -a champion of change or local
schemer, depending on who you ask. He had been working on plans to take
the Valley off-grid with hydro-power – until he was poisoned.
