Debut novel
Fiercely told and breathlessly compelling, Darkness Runs Deep is a striking new Australian crime fiction about the best and worst of who we are.
In the darkest hour, a blood-soaked teenager flees the rural Gerandaroo football oval. Eight months later, Bess, a young teacher, returns home to Gerandaroo.
A childhood game of dare with her former best friend has forced Bess to form a women's footy team to play against Denby, a rival town. She reluctantly recruits players, but the team has to contend with hostile locals – including Bess's own father. Will this help the small community to come back together – or will it be the final thing that blows everything apart?
As tensions in the town boil over, so too do resentments, secrets and violence that have been previously held tight and close.
