Emily Tempest goes back home after years of living and traveling abroad.  Life in Moonlight Downs is about the same as when she left a long time ago.  The one person who remembers her is Lincoln Flinders, an old friend who greets her with warm regards.  This would be the last time something as special as a hug from a friend would come her way.

This is a book that explains the details so that you easily understand how the people of this small community live and exist.  Life is very hard and many live in extreme poverty.  The things that we all take for granted are not even a mention in their minds.

Emily will do what she can to find the killer of her dear friend.  Why was his life taken before his time and what mysteries will lie ahead for everyone in this small Central Australian village?  There is not a detail forgotten or a description left to the imagination.  Adrian is able to paint a canvas of hope and desire, while showing life as it really is.  This is a fascinating, yet moving adventure that you will need to pay attention too!
