Homecountry

It's 1987 and Peter Clancy, hard drinking Melbourne Truth journalist, returns to his home town to settle his mother's estate. But Peter's two-day visit quickly stretches out as he is unwillingly drawn into the sinister secrets of this outback Queensland town.

His childhood friend, Dave Tindall, is now a police constable in town. With Sam Saturday, an erstwhile Aboriginal stockman on the former cattle station, Dave convinces Peter to help prove the suicides of his father and business partner were actually murders.

Peter's quest for evidence will stir up more than he bargained for- including his own shameful past. Will he succumb to despair and bolt, or will he expose the towns' sins and claim his own redemption?

Homecountry is a suspenseful thriller from writer TW Lawless, with wide appeal to crime fiction readers.

Author Inspiration:
Homecountry is an idea that I've carried around in my head for twenty years. I've always wanted to write a thriller, set in North Queensland which I regard as an overlooked literary environment. I love the characters, I love the grittiness and I love the themes. But I'm already working on the next project. That's what writers do. There's no time to sit on your hands when a great idea is developing in your head. It'll take you over anyway.


Born and raised in North Queensland, T W Lawless currently lives in Melbourne. He has studied creative writing, film making and screen writing.
