A shot At Dusk

By: Holding, Michael

Captain Blair Murphy, a proud officer of the Australian 8th Light Horse, knows courage firsthand, but fate has kept him from the battlefields of Egypt, leaving him behind at home in Bundaberg. Educated under the tutelage of the esteemed Kennedy family and trained in the rugged art of wagon and Cobb & Co. coach driving, Blair is a man of skill, quick wit, and steadfast honour.

But when a fateful shot at Mungy Creek leaves a man dead, Blair finds himself accused of manslaughter, caught between the law, shadowy conspiracies, and the very real threat of injustice. Only the loyal Morton Proudfoot, the clever advocacy of William Kennedy, and the bravery of Darlene Mitchell stand between him and ruin.

From the dusty roads of rural Queensland to the tense corridors of the courthouse, Michael Holding delivers a tale of suspense, integrity, and the bonds of loyalty that define a man's true mettle. Will Blair Murphy survive the dusk of suspicion and step into the dawn of freedom?
