More about the book
This is the story of Palm Island, the tropical paradise where one morning Cameron Doomadgee swore at a policeman and forty minutes later lay dead in a watch-house. This is the story of that policeman, the tall, enigmatic Chris Hurley who chose to work in some of the toughest and wildest places in Australia, and of the struggle to bring him to trial. Above all, The Tall Man is a story in luminous detail of two worlds clashing - and a haunting moral puzzle that no reader will forget.
