How do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away
with murder?
When the Australian Mystery Writers' Society invited me to their
crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin
and Adelaide, I was hoping for some inspiration for my second book.
Fiction, this time: I needed a break from real people killing each
other. Obviously, that didn't pan out.
The program is a who's who of crime writing royalty:
the debut writer (me!)
the forensic science writer
the blockbuster writer
the legal thriller writer
the literary writer
the psychological suspense writer.
But when one of us is murdered, six authors quickly turn into five
detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.
Or commit one...

Anna and Reid weren't meant to be, apparently. She's a fiery American
journalist; he's a stoic British detective - it was nice while it
lasted, and then it really wasn't.
And Anna is over it now anyway. She's on the scent of a career-making
story - a suspicious death amongst the cloistered elite world of
Cambridge University, with a slice of police corruption too.
It's just, the more she investigates, the more there's only one person
she wants to talk to about it. She starts writing Reid a long sprawling
email - it's not like she's ever planning to send it.
Until suddenly, she's in desperate trouble. The problem with chasing a
killer is that sometimes, you run right into them.
And the only detective she can trust with her life, is the one who
broke her heart...
Summer, 1976. Jesse and his brother, Edgar, are on the road in
search of victims. They're rovers, nearly indestructible nocturnal
beings who must consume human blood in order to survive. For
seventy years they've lurked on the fringes of society, roaming
from town to town, dingy motel to dingy motel, stalking the
transients, addicts, and prostitutes they feed on. This hard-boiled
supernatural hell ride kicks off when the brothers encounter a
young woman who disrupts their grim routine, forcing Jesse to
confront his past and plunging his present into deadly chaos as he
finds himself scrambling to save her life. The story plays out
through the eyes of the brothers, a grieving father searching for
his son's murderer, and a violent gang of rover bikers, coming to a
shattering conclusion in Las Vegas on the eve of America's
Bicentennial. Gripping, relentless, and ferocious, Rovers
demonstrates once again why Richard Lange has been hailed as an
"expert writer, his prose exact, his narrative tightly controlled"
(Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times).
