About this listen

In the desolate outback town of Finnigans Gap, police struggle to maintain law and order. Thieves pillage opal mines, religious fanatics recruit vulnerable young people, and billionaires do as they please.

Then an opal miner is found crucified and left to rot down his mine. Nothing about the miner's death is straightforward, not even who found the body. Sydney homicide detective Ivan Lucic is sent to investigate, assisted by inexperienced young investigator Nell Buchanan.

But Finnigans Gap has already ended one police career and damaged others, and soon both officers face damning allegations and internal investigations. Have Ivan and Nell been set up, and, if so, by whom?

As time runs out, their only chance at redemption is to find the killer. But the more secrets they uncover, the more harrowing the mystery becomes, as events from years ago take on a startling new significance.

For in Finnigans Gap, opals, bodies and secrets don't stay buried for ever.

A superb stand-alone thriller from the acclaimed and award-winning author of the international best sellers Scrublands, Silver and Trust.

I have become accustomed to the plodding way these stories are told with no frills, no lyricism, no character build up worthy of mention. They are singularly desiccated. But they’re mildly amusing and another lesson in short selling on the stock market was only mildly annoying.
It was, however, the actor narrating the book that annoyed me beyond belief..as other listeners have noted. Admittedly, the author writes shorter, stabbing sentences than most BUT it becomes overwhelming when they are read in machine gun utterings, often breaking up the sense of any longer sentence. What a shame. Last straw for me.

Good?but no but..
