The Sweep Winner

Under a sun fierce enough to make the fence spit sparks, Glen Leigh lays a bare hand on the wire—and snatches it back with a curse.

In late-nineteenth-century rural Australia, miles of arid scrub separate Glen from the nearest town, and the rabbit-proof fence is his lonely charge. A man with a guarded past, he has chosen the harshest kind of solitude; then he finds an unconscious young woman in his hut. Her arrival brings a mystery into a life Glen has tried to keep sealed off, and the wilderness offers little shelter from whatever follows. Who is she—and what will her presence awaken in the keeper of the glittering wire?
