Tordorrach has been on sale for over four years. The 70,000 acres of Australian outback are drought-stricken, the homestead derelict, and owner Seamus and his long-suffering wife living in poverty. Begrudgingly, Seamus is forced to accept an offer from a group of wealthy Londoners who want to run outback experience holidays on Tordorrach. Despite coming from England, the new owners are not strangers to the property. When they offer Seamus the position of manager, he declines but decides to stay on as a gardener, and is given a comfortable cabin on the property – so why does he hate the new owners so much that he plans to murder one of them? Their idyllic life is shattered when the body of a long-buried woman is found on Tordorrach, and a bullet confirms she was shot. Who was she? Who murdered her?

Joanna Stephen-Ward was born in the Australian outback, and grew up in Melbourne. Her school days were spent dreaming about being an opera singer or a writer. To the exasperation of her parents and teachers she spent her final year sitting at the back of the classroom writing a novel set in WW2. When she left school she went to an opera school where she was taught drama, movement and language pronunciation and had small roles in the workshop productions. She was not good enough to become a professional opera singer, but the seeds of her novel Vissi d'arte were sown. She left Australia and spent a year travelling around Europe and the UK. While working in outpatients for the NHS she met Peter and they married in 1985. They lived in Richmond Surrey and she worked at The National Archives, an enthralling place for anyone interested in history or crime. Having been brought up as a lonely only child, she was astonished to discover in 2010 that she was one of eight children. She and her sister had last been together on a verandah in the outback when they were babies. They had a joyous reunion in Cornwall in 2012. Joanna has written seven novels and is working on her eighth.
