As Deep as the River Flows: The book itself is a book of three novellas, the first of which being the grand finale to the novel 'Ben' by the same author. Beginning in marriage and erupting into an explosive turmoil, trusts are broken and tragedy strikes as the challenges of living on a farm outside a small country town continue. If you have read 'Ben' this is an enthralling conclusion, if not, this is still an intriguing stand-alone story filled with rough times, rodeo and romance. Foreign Fields: Another story with it's roots planted firmly in the country. It follows the life of an upstanding family that has lived on the property for generations, a son that travels north for work on a station and a daughter that makes her home in the south with a fiery footballer. But there's a secret being kept.... Who will put the pieces together? Who already knows? The Trolley Guy: This is a story that will keep you guessing 'til the very end. Set largely in an underground car park, it is a story quite different to the other two stories in the book. Car racing on a back road, two unlikely thieves and when a body meets concrete, be prepared to let your imagination run wild....
