Outback Red

They took his family.

They think he won’t fight back.

They’re dead wrong.

Darryl “Jack” Daniels isn't a hero. He’s just a rough-around-the-edges, simple Aussie bloke trying to find his way in the world. But when a corrupt cop tears his family apart to support an underground criminal empire, Jack is left with no option but to stand up and be counted.

A young female police officer, Leanne Miller, confides in Jack and offers him a deal: help her expose the corruption festering behind the badge, and she'll help get his family back—but her deal comes with a heavy price tag.

Thrust into a ruthless world of crime and betrayal, Jack must quickly learn new skills and uphold new morals to protect the people he loves and keep himself alive, because in the outback, justice doesn’t come easy—and when the dust settles, the dirt will run red.

Fans of Jane Harper, Chris Hammer, Matthew Reilly and Lee Child will be hooked by this gritty Australian thriller full of suspense, betrayal, and heart-stopping twists. Safe to say, it is a journey like no other.
