"...there is a nuanced, blue-collar grit to the writing

that perfectly compliments a subtle poetry..."

Nick Davies, NZ Booklovers Fiction Award 2024 winner (Goodreads review)

Front cover of mystery thriller The Quarry by Ngaio Marsh Awards shortlisted author Kim Hunt
Life on the margins
just got
a whole lot scarier
 

Ranger Cal Nyx works alone in the vast NSW bush reserves.. A coded message pulls her away from the quiet and solitude into a chaotic series of road trips.


With police involvement not an option and her femme interstate, Cal burns rubber up and down a lonely coastline, trying to intercept a relentless killer.

​

Will her skills, badass bravado and unique contacts be enough to bring a single-minded murderer out of the shadows?

​

Can she save the one and only person who truly gets her?

'Cal Nyx has harnessed her legacy of trauma with superhero qualities whereas Dif, her ‘brother’ has succumbed to its

darkness of isolation and paranoia… fills your nostrils with eucalypt and sandstone and your heart with the loyalty of the dispossessed.'

(Goodreads review, 5 stars)

a life of mechanical projects and envying the characters you've created.

'a story that starts and ends with an adrenalin rush...
Cal is intelligent, resourceful, car-loving, brave

and sometimes a little foolhardy'
