Özet
 BURIED GOLD, OLD BONES.
WHAT SECRETS LURK IN THE DEPTHS?

A masterclass of small-town mystery and jaw-dropping twists from Chris Hammer, the international bestselling author of Scrublands, The Times Crime Book of the Year 2023 Dead Man's Creek and Crime Book of the Month (January 2024) Cover the Bones.

A body has been discovered on the riverbanks of The Valley, a remote community in the hills of New South Wales. The gold mine at the heart of The Valley was once the lifeblood of this region, but it has been flooded for decades. Over the years, many have tried and failed to bring it back to life. Now, most believe the mine is barren.

The victim is Wolfgang Burnside, deputy mayor - a champion of change or local schemer, depending on who you ask. He had been working on plans to take the Valley off-grid with hydro-power using the lake surrounding the abandoned mine. Until he was poisoned, his body dumped in the river for all to see.

Detectives Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic are dispatched to investigate. The warning is clear - there are secrets lurking in the depths of this Valley, secrets worth more than their weight in gold. What price will this town have to pay to ensure that they never see the light of day?

An epic, atmospheric mystery spanning generations set against a luscious backdrop and the twisting veins of gold that lurk beneath.

One of the foremost practitioners of rural noir
Impressive, well-paced and a triumph of the genre
A tense tale entwining past and present narratives, political scandal and police corruption, and unexpected familial connections for Nell Buchanan, THE BROKEN RIVER shows a storyteller at the top of his considerable game. Masterful.
One of the leading exponents of Australian outback noir
Australia's most exciting crime writer

A great story well narrated. The narration justifies choosing to listen rather than reading the book

Excellent narration

Fab continuation of Nell's story, with support from Ivan of course. I had to concentrate as there are a lot of charactrrs; the two timelines work well. Amazing narration by Lockie Chapman, as always. Hugely, highly recommended. Fingers crossed for another book.

Compelling

Great story with well-defined characters and excellent plotting which make you want to keep reading. Highly recommended. it can be read standalone but there are also characters common to other books in the series which is a nice touch.

I came across this series by chance and was really surprised by the quality of the narration and the twists and turns of the plot (in all of the books in this series). Fantastic multilayered story and fantastic narration. Such vivid descriptions that truly bring the Australian landscape to life. Highly recommend!

Brilliant!
