The latest stunning thriller from the bestselling author of Scrublands and The Seven.
In a beautiful remote lush valley near Araluen and Braidwood in Southern NSW, the murder of a local celebrity developer and would-be politician leads Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic back into the past to uncover a massive conspiracy hiding a decades-old heist, the truth behind a missing person cold case and a massive money-laundering scam.
As they get closer to the truth, Nell is shocked to discover that the secrets of her own birthright might lie in the past they are investigating—but what horrors is she going to find? Could her birth-father be a murderer?
The Valley is a compelling thriller filled with intrigue, emotional depth and an evocative sense of place—where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Chris Hammer, the acclaimed and bestselling author of the international bestsellers Scrublands, Treasure & Dirt, The Tilt and The Seven, can take his place among the world's finest crime writers.
