Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

One scorching day in Australia's deserted outback, Tommy McBride and his brother Billy return home to discover that their parents have been brutally murdered. Distraught and desperate for revenge, the young men set out in search of the killers. But the year is 1885, and the only man who can help them is the cunning and ruthless John Sullivan wealthy landowner and their father's former employer.

Rallying a posse of men, Sullivan defers to the deadly Inspector Noone and his Queensland Native Police, an infamous arm of colonial power whose sole purpose is the dispersal of Indigenous Australians in protection of settler rights.

The retribution that follows will leave a lasting scar on the colony and the country it later becomes. It will also haunt Tommy for the rest of his life.

Set against Australia's stunningly harsh landscapes, Only Killers and Thieves is a compelling, devastating novel about cruelty and survival, injustice and honour, and about two brothers united in grief, then forever torn apart. (back cover)
