About this book

Marra Vale survives by filtering water through burned cattle bones—until local vet Daniel Riggs discovers that one is human and shuts down the kiln.

In drought-stricken Marra Vale, veterinarian Daniel Riggs halts the kiln after a suspicious bone surfaces among cattle remains destined to become filter material for the town’s sole remaining water supply. The bone may belong to a teenager missing for twenty-three years, but every hour spent preserving the evidence leaves the community closer to thirst. Daniel must follow the cold case knowing that each investigative gain carries an immediate cost for his neighbours.
