About this listen
You only take the High Wire if you're desperate - or up to no good.
A notorious unmarked track through outback Australia, the 'Wire' crosses slabs of lawless land, body-dumping grounds and mobile phone blackspots.
Harvey Buck is certainly desperate. Racing to be with his dying girlfriend, he encounters Clare Holland, whose car has broken down. He offers the hapless traveller a ride. And then their nightmare begins.
The pair are ambushed by a vengeful crew - and strapped into bomb vests. As part of a deadly game, Harvey and Clare are forced to commit a series of increasingly murderous missions - or be blown to smithereens.
Senior Sergeant Edna Norris is dealing with a runaway teenager; not an unusual job in the place people go to disappear. But an unfolding crime spree turns this outback cop's night into a fight for survival. Hot on Harvey and Clare's trail, Edna finds a burned-out car, a missing woman, a bank robbery and a bullet-riddled body.
And this road trip from hell has only just begun.

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
