THE MOST CHALLENGING VALUE PEOPLE CAN COMMIT TO IS THE TRUTH... On the tropical coast of Queensland, Sugar Town's annual Harvest Festival is a time for restraint to be set aside; for the fanciful and the mischievous to be indulged. But when innocent questions elicit shocking and unexpected answers, the mischief turns, once again, to malevolence which will hold a reckoning to be delivered...

The denial of Sugar Town's painful past has created a common recourse. Yet when an ambiguous stranger visits Sugar Town, questions are raised and the community is faced with its greatest challenge yet... uncovering the truth of the past.

When a thirteen-year-old girl stumbles upon Sugar Town's secret conspiracies, new crimes are committed to cover the old and ageing indifferences provoked yet she learns the most dangerous aspect of Sugar Town's community is its silence...

Robert is a Canadian born Aussie, having emigrated with his wife from the cold shores of British Columbia to the warm tropical coast of North Queensland in 1975. With a degree in Education from Canada's University of Victoria, he took up the teaching of English, History and Legal Studies in a Whitsunday high school until, forty-two years later, with retirement and an expanding family in Victoria, he and his wife relocated to windy Ballarat. He has written three novels set in rural Queensland, a YA novel set in 15th Century England and a book of short stories.

Reviews for Sugar Town

Wonderfully engaging and menacing with absorbing characters and plot that keeps the pages flicking past and my breath captured until the end... Patrick, Indie Book reviewer (NT)
