Discover award-winning writer Robbie Arnott's newest novel, which takes us on the hunt to find and kill a man-eating big cat.
An epic quest in a through-the-looking-glass Van Deiman's Land.
In the distant highlands, a puma named Dusk is killing shepherds.
Down in the lowlands, twins Iris and Floyd are out of work, money and friends. When they hear that a bounty has been placed on Dusk, they reluctantly decide to join the hunt. As they journey up into this wild, haunted country, they discover there's far more to the land and people of the highlands than they imagined.
As they close in on their prey, they're forced to reckon with conflicts that are both ancient and deeply personal.
