Sucho - CDmp3 (Čte Jakub Gottwald)

The cracked earth reveals long-buried secrets... Australian police officer Aaron Falk from the Melbourne Economic Crime Unit returns to the town of Kiewarra, plagued by a terrifying drought, after twenty years. However, he did not come back due to the disaster that is causing businesses and farms to fail – he came for the funeral of his best friend Luke, who allegedly murdered his wife and son before committing suicide. This doesn't make sense to Falk, so he, along with the local police chief, embarks on an unofficial investigation, against which nearly all locals soon stand. After all, besides the fact that the horrific act lacks logic, there are also numerous other inconsistencies, strange circumstances, and above all: new wounds have reopened old ones. Luke and Falk had a secret since puberty, but it certainly should not have come to light... This detective novel from the Australian bush has won, among other awards, the annual British award for best crime fiction, the French Prix Cognac, the Sunday Times award, and four prizes in debut competitions. Narrator: Jakub Gottwald Length of recording: 11 hours 40 minutes.
