Emma's Farewell

When Emma Bentham disappears without explanation, two men are thrown into turmoil - David Chess, who was having an affair with Emma and her husband Daniel, a technician in David's university department. Has Emma left them both for someone else? David's sorrow at losing Emma leads him into strange and perilous behaviours, and into the orbit of a third man demented over his own abandonment and bent on violent retribution that will ruin lives.

Set in Canberra in 2001, Emma's Farewell explores obsession and loss and violence, and its impact on ordinary families.
