"...Outstanding storytelling" ~ Better Reading ~ "Darry Fraser has ... carved out a niche for herself"
"The historian will tell you what happened; the novelist will tell you what it felt like." ~ US author, E. L. Doctorow
Along the River Murray near Morgan, a busy South Australian inland port, four women hide from the truth – but it’s threatening to find them.
These women have been through hell – and it isn’t over yet. At a time of vigilante justice and lawlessness, being a woman could mean fighting for your life.
In 1894, at the loneliest pub on the river, Biddy’s the landlady at The Resolution Hotel, taking the reins from her fierce aunt Dot.
Biddy’s finally starting to feel like herself again – like who she was before she lost everything. But now she’s accused of a crime she didn’t commit, and the constable is hinting her aunt isn’t innocent either.
When a man arrives offering Biddy an alibi, her surprise turns to shock when she realises who it is, someone she never expected to see again.
In the chaos, new guests arrive: Freya and Clara, both seeking refuge, and both desperate to conceal what they’re running from.
There are plenty of secrets and past traumas among the women – and men – at The Resolution Hotel, but their ordeals aren’t over yet. A cold-blooded murderer is in the area, and he’s taken an interest in the isolated hotel.
Hunted by a killer, haunted by their pasts, they will need all their strength, courage and resilience to survive. But one of them will go too far …
