Synopsis

In "The Sin That Was His," Frank L. Packard crafts a compelling narrative that navigates the complexities of guilt, redemption, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century society, Packard employs a vivid prose style that fuses psychological depth with gripping drama. The story unfolds through the experiences of its flawed protagonist, exploring themes of moral failure and the quest for forgiveness within a world marked by stringent societal expectations and personal turmoil, echoing the modernist literary movements of his time. Frank L. Packard, a prolific Canadian novelist, was deeply influenced by his early career in journalism and his keen interest in the psychological underpinnings of human behavior. His own experiences with the complexities of human relationships resonate throughout the novel, revealing a nuanced understanding of human frailty and moral ambiguity. Packard's ability to interweave personal dilemmas with broader social commentaries underscores his significant contributions to early 20th-century literature. This powerful tale is not merely a story of sin and redemption but a profound exploration of what it means to be human. "The Sin That Was His" is recommended for readers who appreciate psychological complexity and rich character development, inviting them to reflect on their own moral journeys while engaging with Packard's poignant prose.

    In the village of Castle Farthing a mean-spirited, spiteful, curmudgeonly old man is found drugged and strangled in the kitchen of his cottage, with no obvious clues to the perpetrator of the crime. 
    DI Falconer and Acting DS Carmichael are summoned from the police headquarters in the nearby town of Market Darley and begin to uncover a web of grudges against the old man and a sea of familial connections between those who knew him. 
    As the heat of July continues relentlessly, tempers flare, disturbing the usual rural calm of the village, and the normally imperturbable Harry Falconer. Faced with a crime with no obvious prime suspect and the idiosyncrasies of his new partner, Carmichael, is he gradually losing his grip on the case as the body count rises?

    Winner of the 2019 Banjo Prize for Fiction 
    She's isolated. Trapped. Hunted. An almost unbearably tense Australian survival thriller. 
      
    Not much daylight left now. 
    So begins the field diary of Alix Verhoeven, whose impulsive acceptance of an offer to spend Easter on a remote island has turned into a terrifying ordeal. Hiding in a tiny cave, she carefully rations out her meagre supplies, while desperately trying to figure out how to escape the men hunting her. She is determined not to be a victim. 
    What do they want with her? She knows it's nothing good - she overheard enough on that first night to flee. But now she's got little food or water, no way of calling for help, and only her skills as an exploration geologist and memories of Atkinson's Bushcraft Guide to survive. 
    By day she is disciplined and lives by strict plans, but at night she finds herself haunted by questions about her life that she has never wanted to face. 
    And her time is running out.
