Angel Rock Author:Darren Williams Set in a town in the Australian bush in 1969, this novel tells the tale of two half brothers who get lost on their way home -- only the eldest, Tom, returns safely. Meanwhile, in Sydney a girl from the same town is found dead. Gibson, an aging and worn out policeman, traces her back to Angel Rock.
In a small town in the Australian outback a small child disappears. Then a teen from the same town is found dead in Sydney-an apparent suicide. As an investigating detective looks into these events, long hidden feuds and secrets begin to reveal themselves.
The author's first book, Swimming In Silk, won a prestigious Australian literary prize. Angel Rock is as well written and is both menacing and mesmerizing.
