The Wiregrass
Jesse Redpath novels - Book two
‘The Wiregrass delivers an irresistible fusion of an untamed and unforgiving Australian landscape, with a police procedural that will have you galloping through the pages... the perfect book to read curled up in bed during a cracking summer storm.’
– The Australian
The Redline
'steeped in the beauty and danger of Australian landscapes.’
—The Canberra Times
Jesse Redpath novels - Book three
Kinglake-350
‘Every Australian, both rural and urban, should read this book. Adrian Hyland pulls no punches in describing the harrowing consequences of living on the planet’s driest and most fire-prone continent, and his account of the disastrous Black Saturday fires is a story of courage, dread and fallibility that will never leave you.‘
— Cate Kennedy
Diamond Dove
Emily Tempest novels - book one
‘Diamond Dove is a great fun read, a crime novel with a true larrikin spirit. That means it has real wit; dry, earthy and with no bullshit. Hyland has written the kind of book we need so much more of in this country. He quizzes the fraught, complex world of the outback with a critical eye but he also paints with rare clarity a picture of both black and white lives that is filled with compassion and affection. It’s invigorating.’
— Christos Tsiolkas
Gunshot Road
Emily Tempest novels - Book two
‘The follow-up to Diamond Dove, this book brings back the glorious Emily Tempest…By going where few dare to tread, Hyland has created brilliant characters and a funny, sometimes touching and always honest novel. There should be more Emily Tempest books, just to show that issues shouldn’t scare you.’
— West Australian
