While on a dig,</p> <p>David's team unearths a body; murdered over 50 years before. The mystery of the murdered man is then connected to an old, dying man who lives nearby in a shack. Now the definition of &quot;wrack&quot; in all its seven deadly nuances connects up. Set in a shack by the beach, the narrator unfolds the subversion, the revenge, the retributive punishment of the old impaired man. David listens to his tale while waiting for vital clues to the wreck.</p> <p>This tale is a dark tale of lust and betrayal between two men who shared the same obsession for a ship wreck and a woman. The cruel twist at the end may or may not be the redemptive moment for David but it surely has the potential.</p> <h3>Reviews / Chat about this book</h3> <p><a href="http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/australian/wrack.html" title="http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/australian/wrack.html">http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/australian/wrack.html</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="node node-type-poll" id="node-2284"> <div class="node-inner"> <h2 class="title"> <a href="/node/2284" rel="nofollow">How did you Feel about Wrack?</a><br /> </h2> <div class="submitted"> Submitted by Karen on Wed, 15/08/2007 - 11:53am. </div> <div class="content"> <form action="/node/2284" method="post" id="poll-view-voting"> <div> <div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"> <div class="form-radios"> <div class="form-item"> <input type="radio" name="choice" value="0" class="form-radio" /> Loved It </div> <div class="form-item"> <input type="radio" name="choice" value="1" class="form-radio" /> Liked It </div> <div class="form-item"> <input type="radio" name="choice" value="2" class="form-radio" /> Okay </div> <div class="form-item"> <input type="radio" name="choice" value="3" class="form-radio" /> Not quite my cuppa </div> </div> </div> <p><input type="hidden" name="nid" id="edit-nid" value="2284" /><br /> <input type="submit" name="op" id="edit-vote" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /> </div> <p><input type="hidden" name="form_id" id="edit-poll-view-voting" value="poll_view_voting" /> </div> </div> </form> <div class="technorati_tags"><img src="/sites/all/modules/technorati/technobubble.gif" /><strong>Technorati Tags: </strong><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/" rel="tag" rel="nofollow"></a></div> </div> </div> </div> http://www.austcrimefiction.org/node/1869#comments http://www.austcrimefiction.org/crss/node/1869 Crime Fiction James Bradley Australia Archaelogist Country NSW 1997 Random House Australia Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:21:22 +1000 Karen 1869 at http://www.austcrimefiction.org
