Jambinu

By Rae Kerr Scott

JAMBINU draws you into a landscape where you can taste the salt laden air, feel the heat of the Australian sun burn down and flinch as the wind born sand whips and scarifies along the beach.

A car crashes and a young man's life ends. A woman moves into town, but is she really what she says? A man is murdered in a violent, cathartic rage and police struggle to find his killer. Corruption entangles those tasked with the care of the young and vulnerable.

Malicious letters arrive at Jambinu Station. Detective Day and a newly formed team must disentangle a web of vice and deceit in order to find a killer and the malevolent voice behind the letters. On the way they unearth crimes of extreme cruelty and a highly organised circle of men who derive pleasure from the suffering of others.

Jambinu hits hard. A story which does not candy floss anything and pulls no punches. Jambinu tells a tale about survival through resilience, love & dedication. It explores failure, death and the descent into the mire of evil which can be so easy to slide down.

Just as you think you know the outcome, the twisting leaves you breathless, uncertain and with the clang of dissonant bells ringing in your ears as you finish.
