SHORTLISTED FOR THE NED KELLEY AWARD FOR BEST CRIME FICTION

Yuwonderie's seven founding families have lorded it over their district for a century, growing ever more rich and powerful.

But now—in startling circumstances—one of their own is found dead in a ditch and homicide detectives Ivan Lucic and Nell Buchanan are sent to investigate.

Could the murder be connected to the execution of the victim's friend thirty years ago—another member of The Seven—or even to the long-forgotten story of a servant girl on the brink of the Great War?

What are the secrets The Seven are so desperate to keep hidden?

With the killer still on the loose and events spiralling out of control, the closer Ivan and Nell get to discovering the truth, the more dangerous their investigation becomes. Can they crack the case before more people die?

The Seven is a compelling thriller filled with intrigue, emotional depth and an evocative sense of place—where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Chris Hammer, the acclaimed and bestselling author of the international bestsellers Scrublands, Treasure & Dirt and The Tilt, can take his place among the world's finest crime writers.©2023 Chris Hammer (P)2023 W.

Chris Hammer continues to develop the Australian bush as a leading ‘character’ through “The Seven”. His mastery of weaving three time periods into a cohesive crime thriller combined with deep character development of his protagonists over multiple novels and his intimate understanding of the Australian landscape make him one of the most compelling and readable authors our country has produced.
Paired with Dorje Swallow’s laconic delivery, the whole suite of Hammer’s novels in Audible’s collection are captivating and thoroughly enjoyable.
