Candice Fox's breathtaking new thriller is quite literally the bomb! A high-octane race through outback Australia.
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 else be blown to smithereens.
Senior Sergeant Edna Norris is dealing with a runaway teenager; not an unusual job in a place where 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 burnt-out car, a missing woman, a bank robbery and a bullet-riddled body.
And this road trip from hell has only just begun . . .
