Death and Brotherhood in Rosewood

By Thurecht

It is 1890 and a nameless man is pulled from the Bremer River near Rosewood, Queensland. Believed to have drowned, he is buried without ceremony or identification. When Francis Langford reports his brother Charles missing at the Roma Street Police Station, Dr Hamish Hart and Rita Cartwright travel to Ipswich to investigate. What they find is deeply troubling - a blood-soaked hut, a caved-in skull, and a burial that took place without any medical examination. Hamish is furious. Charles Langford deserved better than an unmarked grave. As Hamish and Rita follow the trail from the dusty hawkers' routes of Ipswich to the shearing sheds of Jondaryan Station, they find themselves caught up in the bitter tension between union and non-union labour that is sweeping colonial Queensland. But the mystery of Charles Langford runs deeper than a dispute over wages. Hamish and Rita must untangle a web of family betrayal, stolen identity, and greed stretching from the wool markets of Brisbane to the drawing rooms of London and Scotland, before the killer slips away for good. This is the book seven in the Dr Hamish Hart Mysteries.
