This novel is built on a fragment of historical information - an unsolved triple murder committed in Australia in 1868. The author uses the real names of the victims and local details to develop the story of a large family, turned in on itself, inexorably driven into darkness and death. Rodney Hall is the author of biographies, volumes of poetry and novels such as "Kisses of the Enemy" and "Just Relations".
