High Wire - Candice Fox

Title:  High Wire
Author: Candice Fox

High Wire by Candice Fox is an electrifying thriller set in the brutal landscape of outback Australia, where danger is only a mile marker away. Known as “the Wire,” a notorious, unmarked track through remote terrain, it’s a path travelled only by the desperate or the shady. For Harvey Buck, it’s both: he’s rushing to be with his dying girlfriend when he encounters Clare Holland, a stranded traveller in need of help. But their journey quickly descends into horror when a ruthless crew ambushes them, strapping bomb vests to their bodies as part of a terrifying high-stakes game.

Forced to complete a series of escalating crimes to stay alive, Harvey and Clare must confront their own survival instincts. Meanwhile, Senior Sergeant Edna Norris, on the trail of a runaway teen, is drawn into the chaos of their crime spree, facing a nightmarish series of encounters on the desolate road. In High Wire, Fox delivers a pulse-pounding plot and unforgettable characters in a high-speed race for survival across Australia’s unforgiving outback.
