Homecoming : a novel / Kate Morton.

Morton, Kate, 1976- (author.).

Summary:

"Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959: At the end of a scorching hot day, beside a creek on the grounds of a grand country house, a local man makes a terrible discovery, police are called, and the small town of Tambilla becomes embroiled in one of the most baffling murder investigations in the history of South Australia. Many years later, in London, a phone call summons Jess back to Sydney: her beloved grandmother Nora has suffered a fall and is seriously ill in the hospital. At Nora's house, Jess discovers a true crime book chronicling a long-buried police case: the Turner Family Tragedy of 1959. It is only when Jess skims through the pages that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this notorious event--a mystery that has never been satisfactorily resolved. An epic story that spans generations, Homecoming asks what we would do for those we love, how we protect the lies we tell, and what it means to come home" -- Back cover of book.
