About this listen

Nail-biting and atmospheric, the brilliant thriller for fans of Wimmera and The Dry.

One missing girl. No suspects. A town about to ignite.

Quala, a North Queensland sugar town, the 1970s.

Barbara McClymont walks the cane fields searching for Janet, her 16-year-old daughter, who has been missing for weeks. The police have no leads. The people of Quala are divided by dread and distrust. But the sugar crush is underway, and the cane must be burned.

Meanwhile, children dream of a malevolent presence, a schoolteacher yearns to escape and history keeps returning to remind Quala that the past is always present.

As the smoke rises and tensions come to a head, the dark heart of Quala will be revealed, affecting the lives of all those who dwell beyond the cane.

The Cane is an evocative and atmospheric thriller and announces an exciting new voice in Australian crime writing.
