Opals. Bodies. Secrets. Nothing stays buried for ever.

An opal miner is found crucified down his mine in the desolate outback town of Finnigans Gap.

But no sooner than lead detective Ivan Lucic and his partner Nell Buchanan arrive, they face damning allegations of corruption. They've been set up - but by whom?

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.

'Classic Hammer. A crime novel that will stay with me for a long time.' Ann Cleeves
'Hammer is a great writer - a leader in Australian noir' Michael Connelly
'This novel is Hammer's best work yet.' The Times
'A brilliantly atmospheric mystery.' Heat
