Treasure and Dirt

With special guest: Chris Hammer … in conversation with Bill Kable This is the first of Chris Hammer's books to be set in the Australian outback. There is a murder in a fictional opal mining town loosely based on Lightning Ridge in a far corner of NSW. We go immediately to the gruesome murder scene. The early indications are that so-called "ratters" are involved and that is a story in itself as Chris explains to us what a ratter is in the context of small mining operations. What a pleasure it is to get the latest book from Chris Hammer. Treasure and Dirt includes new characters each with a flaw that we discover just as the characters in the book do. We have to make a decision about which character we can trust. Podcast (mp3)
