About this listen
A notorious unmarked track through outback Australia, the 'Wire' crosses slabs of lawless land, body-dumping grounds and mobile phone blackspots.
Senior Sergeant Edna Norris knows all too well that her jurisdiction - covering 200,000 square kilometres of South Australia desert - is the place where people go to disappear. But nothing could have prepared her for today's rapidly unfolding crime spree: a runaway teenager, a burned-out car, a missing woman, a bank robbery and a bullet-riddled body.
Further down the High Wire, Harvey Buck and Clare Holland are strangers thrust together for the road trip from hell. Ambushed on the roadside by a vengeful crew, the pair are being forced to commit a series of increasingly murderous missions.
Edna Norris is hot on their trail. But catching up to them might mean becoming part of their living nightmare . . .
'Fox writes cinematic action with moody characters, a high-octane plot, amid a Wake in Fright-like atmosphere of absurdity and menace.' Sydney Morning Herald, Fiction Pick of the Week©2024 Candice Fox (P)2024 Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Totally absorbing
A ripper of a story. Exciting, thrilling in a scary way yet with humor from the characters and so very well narrated. absolutely recommended.

A good only in Australia story
Very enjoyable Candice Fox story. Multiple story lines interweaved well. enjoyable Australian quirkiness. Ending not as great as could have been. Still recommend.

Another gem from Candice Fox
Fox delivers another brilliantly paced crime thriller set in Australia, with a cast of memorable characters. Would love to read more stories featuring Harvey, Edna and Talon.

Kept me listening
I listened to this book because I love the narrator Dorje Swallow.. I really enjoyed it. At times I laughed, giggled and held my breath.. its been awhile since an audio book has done this. It's left me hanging for the next book

James Patterson does Mad Max
Outback gothic. Short on mystery. Long on action. An easy read but quite derivative. Not Ms Fox’s finest work IMO
