About this listen
A third outback noir from Peter Papathanasiou, following Special Constable Sparrow as he investigates a cold case in a barren mining region of Western Australia.
With DS Manolis on leave in Greece, Senior Constable Sparrow receives a phone call from a man who wants to turn himself in.
Bob is sixty years old, confined to a Perth nursing home. But thirty years ago, he killed a man in the remote northern Kimberley mining region. He offers to show Sparrow where the body is, but there's a catch: Sparrow must travel north with him under the guise of being his carer.
They are accompanied on the drive by another nursing home resident: Luke, thirty years old, paralysed in a motorbike accident. As they embark on their road trip through the guts of Western Australia, pursued by outback police and adrenaline-soaked miners, Sparrow beings to suspect that Bob's desire to head north may have sinister motivations. Is Luke being held against his will? And what lies in store for them when they reach the pit?

Fantastic
Loved this book. Story kept me on the end of my seat, had lots of twists and turns and made me laugh out loud at times. The narrator did so well, going into character for each of them individually and made me believe in all the characters.
Highly recommend.

Very very good
The author has cleverly weaved the stories of the three protagonists in a seamless emphatic manner which makes you care about them while the environment acts as a character in itself. Superbly narrated the story ebbs and flows back in time without any loss of momentum

I didn't want this to end
Slightly irritating characters at the beginning but I didn't want to leave Bob, Luke and Sparrow as the road trip progressed So well narrated. Different timelines but the various stories are easy to follow. Loved it.
