Dark Country

Anna Walsh is fed up with country life. Raised by one farming family, and married into another, she is one of Riverhaven's favourite daughters – and she hates it. Anna and her husband have secret plans to escape the life they inherited but never wanted. Then murder comes to town. A poultry farmer is found strung up by his feet, electrocuted, his throat slashed – murdered in the same brutal fashion as the chickens on his farm every day. The locals are horrified, and all fingers point to the new arrivals in town – animal activists. The group had seemed peaceful enough when they set up camp by the river. But suspicions grow as more acts of violence plague the once peaceful community. With their escape now on hold, Anna and her husband fear for her missing father-in-law. Locals assume he went bush to get over the sudden death of his wife, but Anna isn't so sure. Has the animal-rights group taken its fight against cruelty to a murderous level? Or is this sleepy rural paradise hiding a darker secret?
