Detective Dave Burrows returns in another breathtaking tale of rural suspense from the bestselling author of Rising Dust, and here’s your chance to snap up a copy of Into the Night.

“Nobody does rural fiction quite like Fleur McDonald.” The Weekly Times

Detective Dave Burrows is devastated. After an acrimonious divorce, Dave has no choice but to let his ex wife and her father Mark call the shots: supervised, one-hour visits are all he’s allowed if he wants to see his two young daughters. And he knows he’ll jump through any hoops to see Bec and Alice.

On Leo Perry’s farm, sixty kilometres out of Yorkenup, the only positive in Leo’s day is the unswerving loyalty of his dog, Coffee. Thanks to yet another power outage, Leo is out in the morning heat, refuelling the water pump. But seconds later he watches in horror as the tank explodes.

Flames engulf wooden beams and sparks ignite grass just as Leo realises he’s at the end of a one-way petrol trail, the fire roaring straight for him.

When Dave and his partner Detective Bob Holden are called to Leo’s ravaged farm, they’re unclear if they’re dealing with arson, suicide or something else. There’s been no sign of Leo anywhere, and his wife Jill is distraught. Leo and his dog appear to have vanished. But, when Dave and Bob begin their investigation, what they find makes no sense at all.

  • Just reading this blurb has got me intrigued and I feel like I need to turn the page and see what becomes of this mystery. What happened to Leo and Coffee? Does Detective Dave get to spend more time with his daughters?


  • A Detective Dave distraction, what perfect timing! Nobody writes it better than Fleur McDonald and this would be a brilliant addition to our library whilst we’re stuck inside recovering from covid. Thanks.


  • I have Fleur McDonald in my home library, she’s really good. I know I’d enjoy reading this latest book, then I’d pass it onto my mum to share with her very senior friends and neighbours

  • I love a good thriller and this sounds amazing! I’ve recently started to read again and would love this to be next on my list! Perfect for an upcoming flight too!


  • Looks like it would be a great read


  • Into The Night- the title captures you even before you know what the book is about. Let alone seeing the author whom brings everyday relatable struggles whilst mixes them with a burst of rural country flare. Can’t wait


  • What a thrilling read this looks like and set in the outback is always great and love to see what happened to Leo and what a great name for a dog Coffee.


  • Nothing better than a great book and snuggled up in front of the fire. This is my favorite night out.


  • I want to find out if Leo is alright and what mysteries they Dave and Bob find in their investigation.


  • I would love to read Into the Night as I really enjoy Fleur McDonald writing. I have read a few of her books, liked the mystery and become engaged very quickly as I can relate to the rural aspects of her stories, having grown up in the country.


  • I love a good detective novel and one set in surrounds similar to my own rural home would be thrilling to read :)
