Join us at Newcastle City Library to hear author Darcy Tindale discuss her creative process, get insights into her crime writing life and launch her second novel, Burning Mountain.
Detective Rebecca Giles returns in Burning Mountain, Darcy Tindale’s sequel to The Fall Between. This time she is out to solve the 20-year-old mystery of a missing schoolboy who went up a mountain with four of his friends, but did not return.
Drawing inspiration from Darcy’s childhood in the Upper Hunter Valley, her second novel offers a candid portrait of rural Australia, the unspoken secrets that small communities often harbour and the devastating ramifications they can cause.
