About this book

The cattle bones keep a drought-stricken Australian town alive. Then veterinarian Daniel Riggs finds a human bone bound for its kiln.

In drought-stricken rural Australia, veterinarian Daniel Riggs halts the kiln that makes the filter for Marra Vale’s last usable water after spotting a human bone among the cattle remains. It may belong to a teenager missing for twenty-three years, but preserving the evidence brings the whole community closer to thirst. As old loyalties come under pressure, Daniel must decide how much everyone should lose for the truth.
