      The first bestselling novel in the compelling Duffy and Macintosh series, depicting our turbulent history as never before.

      "The home grown version of Wilbur Smith" The Sunday Age

      A stark and vivid novel of Australia's brutal past.

      An epic tale of two families, the Macintoshes and the Duffys, who are locked in a deadly battle from the moment squatter Donald Macintosh commits an act of barbarity on his Queensland property.
