About this book
A town must burn its dead animals to drink, until a veterinarian finds a human bone headed for the kiln.
In a drought-stricken Australian town, veterinarian Daniel Riggs stops the kiln producing the filter for its last usable water. The bones may belong to a teenager missing for twenty-three years, but every hour spent preserving the evidence brings the town closer to thirst.
