About this book
Marra Vale relies on cattle bones to keep its last water usable—then veterinarian Daniel Riggs spots a human bone bound for the kiln.
When a human bone surfaces, local veterinarian Daniel Riggs shuts down the kiln that supplies a drought-bound Australian town’s water filter. The find may be linked to a teenager missing for twenty-three years, but protecting the evidence leaves less safe water for everyone. With the cold case and the town’s survival drawing on the same dwindling resource, Daniel must weigh professional responsibility against urgent communal need.
