Season of the River - Paperback

by Chris Muir (Author)

When would-be diamond miner, Andrew Burns, disappears with Lizzy Lawson's life savings, she's determined to track him down. With the help of local man, Henry Morgan, she locates Burns at his clapped-out mine in Western Australia's Kimberley, or at least his apparently murdered body. Lizzy had both motive and opportunity, so the police lay charges.

For Lizzy to prove her innocence, she must navigate a dark web of outback betrayal, littered with fake diamonds, real diamonds and odd characters who aren't always who they seem to be. Along the way, with the help of Henry's mother, Rosie, Lizzy becomes a student of the Dreamtime, encountering hangovers from a dark past of white occupation and the establishment of one of the world's largest diamond mines.

Most of all, in her Season of the River, Lizzy will find out who she really is, and the person she wants to be.
