The Fall Between: An atmospheric and gripping rural noir thriller

By Darcy Tindale

In a small town full of secrets, the past never stays buried.

When twelve-year-old Kayleen Ellis vanishes from her home in the rural town of Muswellbrook, Detective Rebecca Giles is called to investigate. Within hours, she's hailed a hero - the case is closed, the missing girl is found and a string of local burglaries have been solved.

But the celebration doesn't last long. The next morning, the body of a young farmhand is discovered floating in a cattle trough. Giles must uncover answers to this brutal death, and she soon starts to suspect a connection between the disappearance, the murder and her mother's mysterious drowning thirty years ago.

Now, in a community where loyalties run deep and grudges last generations, Giles must face the ghosts of her past before the killer strikes again.

Perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Candice Fox, The Fall Between is a dark and atmospheric rural noir thriller that's impossible to put down.
