Bones of Contention

The Top End of Australia is a strange place to choose to end one's life, but that is what Dinah Pelerin's wealthy American uncle has done. He has summoned his entire family to a remote, comfortless lodge where he intends to rewrite his will and commit suicide with the aid of a rogue Australian physician. Dinah sees this time with her uncle as a last chance to learn the truth about her father, who died while running drugs when she was a child. But when she arrives, she discovers that the truth has darker ramifications. When a man none of them claims to know is murdered on a nearby island, Dinah must sort out her family's complicated history while struggling to understand Aboriginal song lines and solve not one, but two bizarre murders.
