  Winner of The 2021 Dorothy Hewett Award for an Unpublished Manuscript 
  Garreth Hoyle is a true crime writer whose destructive love affair with hallucinogenic drugs has sent him searching for ghosts in the unforgiving mallee desert of Western Australia. Heading north through Kalgoorlie, he attempts to score off old friends from his shearing days on Banjawarn Station. His journey takes an unexpected detour when he discovers an abandoned ten-year-old girl and decides to return her to her estranged father in Leonora, instead of alerting authorities. Together they begin the road trip from hell through the scorched heart of the state’s northern goldfields. 
   
   
  *** 
   
  Love, friendship and hope are often found in the strangest places, but forgiveness is never simple, and the past lies buried just beneath the blood red topsoil. The only question is whether Hoyle should uncover it, or run as fast as his legs can take him. 
   
  Banjawarn is an unsettling debut from Josh Kemp. Echoing Cormac McCarthy’s haunting border trilogy and narrative vernacular that recalls the sparse lyricism of Randolph Stow and Tim Winton, this is a darkly funny novel that earns its place amongst the stable of Australian gothic literature. 
   
   
   
  The conflation of violence and justice here is very like a western, as the boundaries between good and evil shimmer and dissolve. 
   
  Kemp writes with a compelling voice, the kind you want to follow into dark places, no matter how gruesome things get.

  The story of a psychopath. 
  Karl Liebknecht - the main character of this novel - loses his young wife and parents on the same day in a car accident caused by a drunk Yugoslav lorry driver. Liebknecht, a conscientious case worker at the social welfare office, withdraws more and more into himself until one day he unintentionally kills a young Yugoslavian girl. He tells himself that she was 'only' a member of the same people who had killed his family. Liebknecht comes into contact with neo-Nazi circles and begins to hunt down foreign drug dealers and prostitutes. Initially, the victims are merely beaten up - but later Liebknecht, who has begun to steel his body through strength training, switches to locking the victims in his cellar and then murdering them. Liebknecht kidnaps the wife of Inspector Werner, who suspected the real perpetrator very early on but was unable to produce any evidence, and makes her play sex games with three Africans in front of a hidden camera. Liebknecht sends the recorded videos to the press and police and begins a game of cat and mouse to break free from the boredom of daily monotony. The inspector's assistant detective is also kidnapped and murdered. Liebknecht transforms from a staid civil servant into a sarcastic monster, but loves his black housekeeper Agatha, who supports him wholeheartedly in his perverse misdeeds....
