More about the book

When his father dies Bobby Blue decides to leave the cattle station where they worked side by side and take a job in Mount Hay as the constable's offsider. Constable Collins and his family are new to the western country and, struggling to understand its inhabitants, invite Bobby to stay in a hut on their property where he is educated alongside their daughters. But there's a simmering tension, building quietly and strongly, beneath the overt goodwill. Then tragedy strikes.
