  A powerful debut novel that continues the legacy of ‘Master of the Genre’ Desmond Bagley with a thriller set in Australia, also appealing to a new generation of readers of who adore Jane Harper and Chris Hammer. 
  The Sequel to Desmond Bagley’s DOMINO ISLAND  
  Insurance investigator Bill Kemp had never wanted to trek deep into Australia’s remote interior. But when his clients Sophie and Adam Church inherit an abandoned opal mine, triggering some explosive long-lost secrets, they – and Kemp – find themselves facing an unknown enemy even more deadly than the vast, forbidding wilderness of the Outback… 
  The Desmond Bagley centenary novel honours the legacy of the bestselling thriller writer with a new adventure featuring Bill Kemp, described by Jeffrey Deaver as ‘part James Bond, part Philip Marlowe, and all hero’. Writer Michael Davies, who completed the first Kemp novel Domino Island for publication nearly 40 years after the author’s death, now weaves an original tale of danger and death under the blistering Australian sun. 
  In OUTBACK, Michael Davies masterfully crafts a tale of suspense and action, set against the backdrop of Australia's vast and unforgiving Outback. The inherited opal mine, a ticking time bomb of secrets and dangers, forces the characters into a deadly game of survival. 
  For fans of Fleur Mcdonald (Something to Hide), John Le Carré (Call for the Dead), Simon Mason (The Case of the Lonely Accountant), Mick Herron (Slow Horses), and Mike Maden (Clive Cussler’s Ghost Soldier).

  The holidays are upon Charm Cove and Moira Wicked is up to her eyeballs in magic as she manages Persnickety Potions & Gifts for her family. One evening after a busy day, she assumes she must be way too tipsy from her wine when she hears a commotion down at the beach by her home. 
   
   
   
  Nope. Not too tipsy from wine. Lo and behold, a boat was dashed against the rocky coastline in the darkness. That's enough news by itself, but even worse, the three passengers who were believed to have been on the boat have vanished into thin air. So has the man who runs the lighthouse. 
   
   
   
  To top it all off, Beacon's Charm Lighthouse is broken. That should be impossible because it runs on magic. 
   
   
   
  Moira is chasing down the leads to find everyone who's missing and get the magic to work for the lighthouse again. Turns out when something runs on magic, the usual tricks don't fix it. The witchy families of Charm Cove find themselves fending off curious queries from officials about just what's wrong with their town's lighthouse. 
   
   
   
  Meanwhile, throngs of visitors crowd the streets, buying up holiday magic by the bottle. Moira's destiny is bearing down upon her. Will she meet her fate in time for Christmas or not?
