This astonishing novel is set in the Australian outback, which is probably the most compelling character in the book. To live there is to live in constant danger because the heat can and does kill quickly. It is behind the death of Cameron Bright; that is unless there was human intervention that made him walk away from his well-stocked Land Rover. The Brights had been running cattle out there for over forty years. Nathan, the oldest brother, was somewhat estranged and Bub, the youngest, was at best little or no help. Cameron's death threw the family into a crisis, and sorting out what happened brought Nathan back into the fold.
