About the Book
Title: Blood Gold Revenge
Author: Dave Wright
Genre: Thriller
“A lot of things have happened up this
way over the years. There’s got to be at least six missing person’s that
I have heard of.”
There is gold in the vastness of the
Australian outback, and a special breed of men who prospect for it. Tim
is bush-hardened and skilled; the love for this harsh country comes
naturally. His prospecting partner John shares Tim’s love of the
freedom, but times have changed. A new breed of prospector has reason to
appreciate the desolate isolation of the bush — but it is not gold he
is after. The country’s biggest meth lab is doing well, and its owner,
Mr C. does not appreciate passers-by.
The cattle on the Hatchet River Station
homestead have not been mustered for the past ten years. The brutish
Maxine, her husband Scrubber, and her brother Price have agreed to run
interference for Mr C.; after all, they have always enjoyed killing the
odd lone prospector when they had the chance.
But they make a mistake, and the
solitary prospector they pick off one day was not alone as they thought.
There are witnesses to the crime this time, and they want justice for
their friend. Tired of the Hatchet River trio’s murdering ways,
intimidation and threats, and suspecting local police corruption, Tim,
Jack and Sam call in the state authorities.
A massive search begins; the hunters
become the hunted, the innocent pay for the crimes of the guilty and the
good guys don’t always win. But the net does tighten. The
well-camouflaged drug lab explode in flames and the blood of many, good
and bad, soak into the parched land in a spectacular finale. It is not
the authorities who bring justice to Hatchet River, however, but a band
of indomitable bushies, who have never learned to say die.
