The Shearer's Wife

A riveting novel of rural suspense from the Voice of the Outback.

1980: When Rose and Ian Kelly arrive in the small South Australian town of Barker, Rose worries that despite Ian's impending fatherhood he remains a drifter who dreams of the open road.

2020: As Detective Dave Burrows witnesses the Australian Federal Police make a shocking arrest in Barker, he is certain there is more to the story than meets the eye.

Journalist Zara Ellison is finally ready to make a commitment to her boyfriend, Senior Constable Jack Higgins. But when she's assigned to investigate the Barker arrest, Jack begins to believe that Zara is working against him.

It takes a series of unconnected incidents in Zara's digging to reveal an almost forgotten thread of mystery.
