The Twenty-Eights of Cullarong

Dozens of people vanish every year in the Outback of Australia. Will Genny be one of them?

Out of the frying-pan of her violent marriage in New Zealand, into the fire of Outback Australia, Geneva Collins, the Kiwi nurse, works in some of the hottest and most violent places in Australia.

Enduring the inflexible Northern Territory hospitals, the continuing catastrophe that is the plight of the Aboriginal People overwhelms Genny. The violence is such that she feels totally ineffective as a nurse, so she moves into Western Australia and experiences the bullying and corruption in the Wheatbelt and Goldfield areas.

Only in Cullarong does she have a sense of safety. It is so isolated and remote, with nobody there at all to harm her, until she learns the truth about her lover Rocco, and that her murderous ex-husband is still tracking her. Now she has double trouble, and there is nobody to call for help.
