Win 1 Of 15 Copies Of The Valley By Chris Hammer

146 Entries

The latest stunning thriller from the bestselling author of Scrublands and The Seven, we have 15 copies of The Valley by Chris Hammer up for grabs.

Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic are back – and Nell is thrown into her most emotionally fraught investigation yet.

A controversial entrepreneur is murdered in a remote mountain valley, but this is no ordinary case. Ivan and Nell are soon contending with cowboy lawyers, conmen, bullion thieves and grave robbers.

But it’s when Nell discovers the victim is a close blood relative that the past begins to take on a looming significance.

What did take place in The Valley all those years ago? What was Nell’s mother doing there, and what was her connection to troubled young police officer Simmons Burnside? And why do the police hierarchy insist Ivan and Nell stay with the case despite an obvious conflict of interest?

The Valley features a page-turning plot, intriguing characters and an evocative sense of place—where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Chris Hammer, the acclaimed author of the international bestsellers Scrublands, Treasure & Dirt, The Tilt and The Seven, presents another immersive and emotionally rewarding thriller.

Praise for Chris Hammer:

‘Hammer has confirmed and underlined his reputation as numbering among the very best novelists in detective fiction.’ Sydney Morning Herald
