The Last Wave

Sydney. Perpetual twilight. A drowned man. A corporate lawyer takes on a case defending Aboriginal men accused of murder. Torrential rains, waking nightmares, and tribal elders conspire to reveal a deeper, shared destiny. Weir’s sun-baked, rain-soaked mystery offers more than cheap thrills.
