Small towns are quick to anger and slow to forgive, but Arlo Hackett doesn't expect mercy when he emerges from a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to Yulara, a waypoint on Australia's Great Southern Road. The last time Arlo was home, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime and Arlo was found guilty by association. His return to the former goldrush town is like cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violence, along with memories of the people he loved – the ones he couldn't save. Yulara wants Arlo gone, or worse, but every insult and humiliation pushes him to confront what really happened all those years ago. The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs5CC07D4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs3BD316B\"\u003eMICHAEL ROBOTHAM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs5CC07D4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs9885FCB\"\u003eBefore becoming a novelist, Michael Robotham was a feature writer and investigative reporter working in Britain, Australia and America, and with clinical and forensic psychologists as they helped police investigate complex, psychologically driven crimes.
