One of my favorite books last year was Stef Penney's Tenderness of Wolves. The year is 1867 and the place is Dove River, an isolated settlement in the Northern Territory. A local woman, Mrs. Ross. stumble across a dead body..a crime scene. She also discovers her 17 year old son is missing and is quite possibly the number 1 suspect. She sets off into the wilderness with a half-breed Native American guide, who may or may not be involved in the murder. The secrets she discovers about her family and her community while along this treacherous journey to find her son keeps the reader turning the page. A very impressive debut! Has anyone else read this? It is now out in paperback.
Here's a video clip I found, an interview with the author:
