High Wire

Fox, Candice2024
Books, Manuscripts
You only take the High Wire if you're desperate -- or up to no good. A notorious unmarked track through outback Australia, the "Wire" crosses slabs of lawless land, body-dumping grounds and mobile phone blackspots. Harvey Buck is certainly desperate. Racing to be with his dying girlfriend, he encounters Clare Holland, whose car has broken down. He offers the hapless traveller a ride... and then their nightmare begins. The pair are ambushed by a vengeful crew -- and strapped into bomb vests. As part of a deadly game, Harvey and Clare are forced to commit a series of increasingly-murderous missions or be blown to smithereens. Senior Sergeant Edna Norris is dealing with a runaway teenager; not an unusual job in the place people go to disappear. But an unfolding crime spree turns this outback cop's night into a fight for survival. Hot on Harvey and Clare's trail, Edna finds a burned-out car, a missing woman, a bank robbery and a bullet-riddled body. And this road trip from hell has only just begun...
