In the desolate outback town of Finnigans Gap, thieves pillage opal mines, religious fanatics recruit the vulnerable, and billionaires do as they please. When an opal miner is found crucified down his mine, Sydney homicide detective Ivan Lucic and inexperienced investigator Nell Buchanan are sent to investigate.
But Finnigans Gap has already ended one police career, and soon both officers face damning allegations. Set up and running out of time, their only chance at redemption is to find the killer — before the town’s buried secrets consume them both.
