About this book
Animal bones help keep a drought-stricken Australian town drinking—until veterinarian Daniel Riggs discovers a human bone.
In rural Australia, veterinarian Daniel Riggs stops the kiln that turns animal remains into filter material for the town’s last usable water. The bone may belong to a teenager who vanished twenty-three years earlier, forcing Daniel to balance his duty to preserve evidence against an urgent communal need. Every hour of investigation protects a possible answer while pushing his neighbours closer to thirst.
