An isolated town with a dark past ... In secluded Devlins Reach, on the shores of the Hawkesbury River, three bodies are unearthed in an excavation site. When a wilderness expert, Park Ranger Taylor Bridges, is called in to assist local police, he soon discovers the town has an unsettling history – one to match Taylor's own haunted past. But the quiet location and picturesque beauty of The Reach are hiding something darker than Taylor could have anticipated. Within the town's tight-knit community of loggers, store owners and tight-lipped locals, someone is targeting the residents one by one. As a torrential storm surges ever closer, and the river swells at the levee walls, The Reach goes into lockdown. With no way in or out, Taylor finds himself in a race against the power of nature to find a desperate killer before the whole town goes under. 'THE REACH, B. Michael Radburn's taut Australian rural thriller, is a skilfully woven tale of empathetic characters, vividly drawn locations and edge-of-your-seat tension. Don't make any other plans – you'll have to read to the electrifying conclusion of this hunt for a killer in an isolated logging community.' L. J. M. Owen, The Great Divide
