Adam Fitzgerald continues Tim Winton's heartbreakingly brutal yet lyrical tale of survival and self-discovery. Who is the strange old man alone out on the saltlands?

Adam Fitzgerald continues Tim Winton's fierce yet lyrical new novel, set in Australia's outback. Jaxie is on the run after his father's violent death.
