**THE TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH** **A SUNDAY TIMES PAPERBACK OF
THE YEAR 2022** In the outback, nothing stays buried forever...
'Classic Hammer. A crime novel that will stay with me for a long
time.' Ann Cleeves 'This novel is Hammer's best work yet.' The
Times 'A complex, twisty thriller, with nuanced characters and a
winding plot all set in the oppressive Australian heat.' Lisa Hall
'This slice of Australian noir sparkles like an opal in the
blistering sun.' Lisa Gray 'Opal Country is a top-notch Aussie Noir
with real heat coming off the pages.' Christopher Fowler Opals...
In the desolate outback town of Finnigans Gap, police struggle to
maintain law and order. Thieves pillage opal mines, religious
fanatics recruit vulnerable youngsters and billionaires do as they
please. Bodies... Then an opal miner is found crucified and left to
rot down his mine. Nothing about the miner's death is
straight-forward, not even who found the body. Homicide detective
Ivan Lucic is sent to investigate, assisted by inexperienced young
investigator Nell Buchanan. But Finnigans Gap has already ended one
police career and damaged others, and soon both officers face
damning allegations and internal investigations. Have Ivan and Nell
been set up, and if so, by whom? Secrets... As time runs out, their
only chance at redemption is to find the killer. But the more they
uncover, the more harrowing the mystery becomes, and a past long
forgotten is thrown into scorching sunlight. Because in Finnigans
Gap, nothing stays buried for ever. Praise for Chris Hammer:
'Hammer is a great writer - a leader in Australian noir' Michael
Connelly 'Shimmers . . . A tortured tale of blood and loss' Val
McDermid 'Stunning - a page-turner which stays long in the memory'
