I really didn’t expect anything less, after reading the Bluffs last year. This is the eagerly awaited second book from the Tasmanian author and it was amazing. This man can really write a tale can’t he. But in the gritty fight between right and wrong, blood isn’t always thicker than water, and everyone is at risk of being pulled under.įrom the bestselling breakout author of The Bluffs comes a heart-stopping new thriller set on the rugged coast of Tasmania about modern-day pirates, family bonds and betrayals, and the hidden dangers that lurk in the deep…. When secrets long thought buried at sea wash up on shore, generations of the Dempsey family must stand up for what they believe in, even if it means sacrificing everything. What on earth happened to the boy all those years ago? And does it have anything to do with the infamous drug kingpin Blackbeard, who is rumoured to be moving in on Shacktown? But in their search for answers about Forest, both Mackerel and Ahab can’t help but be drawn back into the underworld. His cousin Ahab has renounced the family altogether, in favour of working to keep the town and its fragile tourism economy safe. Mackerel Dempsey, out of jail on strict bail conditions, is trying to change his fate, doing his best to keep out of trouble before his next court date. But when thirteen-year-old Forest Dempsey walks out of the ocean, bruised and branded, everything is imperilled – because Forest has been believed dead for the last seven years. Here the Dempsey family have run a drug ring for generations, using the fishing industry and the deadly Black Wind as cover. On the Tasman Peninsula, nestled amidst the largest sea-cliffs in the southern hemisphere, is Shacktown. And if you’re a Dempsey, it can play tricks on your mind.
There’s no predicting it, no sailing it, no living with it. If you encounter the Black Wind while out there at sea, all you can do is race back to shore.
