When Angus Gus Teague answers an unexpected phone call, he learns that an uncle he barely knew has died and left him something rather more substantial than a few dollars and an old watch.
Woolgar River Park.
Seventy-three thousand acres of western Queensland cattle country, an imposing homestead near Richmond, and enough land to turn a comfortably retired building surveyor into a cattle-station owner almost overnight.
For Gus and his wife, Lynette, it should be the beginning of an extraordinary new life.
Except Woolgar River Park has a past.
A family once lived there. Then, within weeks, they were gone. Locals still whisper about a curse, the station has been stripped of cattle and machinery, Lachlan's supposed wife has disappeared, and there are things about the old homestead that nobody seems particularly keen to explain.
Then something small is discovered in the folds of a bedroom curtain.
Something that should not be there.
And for Lynette, a retired Detective Sergeant who has never quite lost the instinct to ask one question too many, it changes everything.
What began as an inheritance is about to become an investigation into secrets buried deep within Woolgar River Park-because sometimes the most dangerous thing about an old property isn't what happened there.
It's what somebody hoped would never be found.
A distinctly Australian mystery from Max Barrington, where dry humour, outback characters and an unexpected inheritance collide with a past that refuses to stay buried.
