Why abduct a small child from the heart of Queensland’s Channel Country? Does the mother know or even suspect the real reason?

Being 400 kilometers from the nearest lone police officer, Myall Downs’ own stationhands must act. Instinctively, Adam Mann, a tenacious, determined aboriginal stockman and known black-tracker, relentlessly chases the villains, dogging them across some of Queensland’s harshest and most beautiful terrain.

Adam Mann, defying the frustratingly slow, tantalizingly rule-bound authorities and police — who have a poor record with Indigenous Australians — forces their hand through his actions.

A compelling listen.
