An Ill Wind - Margaret Hickey

From the bestselling Australian author of Broken Bay and The Creeper comes An Ill Wind, a gripping new slice of rural crime that will have you side-eyeing every spinning turbine.

High on a hill above the small Victorian town of Carrabeen, 300 wind turbines spin day and night. Except for one, now deadly still, with the body of local philanthropist Geordie Pritchard hanging from its blade.

Detective Sergeants Belinda Burney and Will Lovell are thrown into a case that splits the community in two. Was it suicide, or murder, as his widow insists? The wind farm brought money and jobs, but also enemies, fury and threats. Geordie Pritchard was a saint to some, a sinner to others, but someone wanted him dead enough to leave him hanging for the whole town to see.

Tense, atmospheric and impossible to put down, An Ill Wind is Margaret Hickey doing what she does best. Small-town secrets, outback landscapes and crime that cuts right to the bone.
