New from Soho Press: Moonlight Downs by Adrian Hyland.
About the book, from the publisher:
Emily Tempest, a feisty part-Aboriginal woman, left home to get an education and has since traveled abroad. She returns to visit the Moonlight Downs “mob,” still uncertain if she belongs in the Aboriginal world or that of the whitefellers. Within hours of her arrival, an old friend is murdered and mutilated. The police suspect a rogue aborigine, but Emily starts asking questions. Emily Tempest, a modern half-Aboriginal sleuth, is a welcome successor to Arthur Upfield’s classic detective.
