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.
