There's a myth in Esperance that's been around for years, apparently going as far back as the arrival of the first Europeans. Locals think there's a giant bird, big enough to carry away adult humans.

Recurring rumours of attacks by a giant raptor lead Greg Muir to seek the truth behind the bird's existence. Is it big enough to bring down a light plane? Can it carry away human beings in its talons? Is it responsible for the mutilation of a hang-glider? A quest for a creature as fearful as it is elusive.

Is the story of the giant bird only a myth, or is it a reality? And if it is a reality, what part will it play in shaping the lives of those who search for it? A stunningly crafted mystery. (publisher blurb)
