About this book
The cattle bones keep a drought-stricken town drinking—until veterinarian Daniel Riggs spots a human bone bound for the kiln.
Veterinarian Daniel Riggs halts a kiln that turns dead animals into filter material for an Australian town’s last usable water. The suspected human remains may belong to a teenager missing for twenty-three years, but preserving them as evidence brings the community closer to thirst with every passing hour. This tightly wound rural mystery sets investigative duty against the urgent work of keeping people alive.
