They’re pragmatic folks, though, and there’s a funeral to be planned, plus Christmas is just around the corner. What was Cam doing by the grave, and what was his Land Cruiser doing nine kilometers away, still fully stocked with supplies, with the keys left neatly on the front seat? The Brights' mother, Liz, is devastated, and Cam has also left behind his wife, Ilse, and two young daughters, Sophie and Lo. Cam’s older brother, Nathan, and their baby brother, Bub, are as perplexed as the cop who’s come all the way from Brisbane to investigate. His body is eventually spotted, via helicopter, curled up by the stockman’s grave, the source of plentiful, and persistent, local ghost stories. When 40-year-old Cameron sets out on his own, ostensibly to fix a repeater mast, he never comes home. It’s a vast, unforgiving environment, and no one ever goes far without a full complement of supplies. The three Bright brothers are the overseers of 3,500 square kilometers of land in Queensland, with hours between each of their homes.
A timely novel set in the furthest reaches of Australia by the author of The Dry (2017) and Force of Nature (2018).
