by Linda Dowling, Juliette Lachemeier (Editor)

Overview

The highly anticipated new novel from the international bestselling Australian author of Splintered Heart and Sinister Intent, being developed for screen by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Jayden Cummins. Fatal Envy is the #1 bestselling book three in Linda Dowling's Red Dust Novel Series.

FRACTURED. VENGEFUL. DEADLY.

It has been almost four years since the homestead, Woori, burned to the ground in Sinister Intent, book 2 in the #1 bestselling Red Dust Novel series.

Lisa O'Connor is now Lisa Garrett after marrying her enigmatic Aboriginal jackaroo, Billy Garrett. In 1975, Lisa is about to enter a new phase in her life as mother to twins, Jesse and Jedda, and she is finally putting her horrific past behind her.

Polly Walker is the first-born daughter of Mitch and Tess Walker, who live on the neighbouring farm of Woodside. Her parents' destructive marriage seems to be taking a toll on the young girl, but there is far more to Polly than meets the eye.

As the lives of the Garrett and Walker family collide, heartbreak and tragedy threaten to destroy Lisa and Billy's newfound happiness with their young family. And as they navigate the darkness of mental illness, an even more disturbed individual lies in wait to take his revenge on Alan Smith, Lisa's uncle, and Billy.

Fatal Envy, the final saga in the Red Dust series, will thrill fans of the first two Red Dust novels. Linda Dowling weaves a story that spans two decades, set against the background of the magnificent Australian outback and inner-city Sydney. Full of hope, new horizons, greed, envy, love and loss, book three is an unputdownable finale in this bestselling series.

About the Author

Linda Dowling grew up in the Western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. During her childhood, she spent most of her time in rural areas and has continued to enjoy life in the bush or in areas with natural surrounds. Her aunt, a wonderful horsewoman, lived in Carinda, New South Wales and taught her a great deal about horses, riding and the outback. It was during her vacations with her aunt that Linda herself fell in love with the vast outback plains and the Aboriginal culture, their stories and their unique but simple way of living. Linda has a natural affinity with Indigenous peoples and was the only white girl selected to play for the Papua New Guinea softball teams at the Pan Pacific Masters.In her professional life, Linda has established and managed four medico-legal firms, including her own. During the course of her career, she has been involved in reporting on coronial matters and inquests. She has also worked with the NSW Police State Crime Command Centre and in various Royal Commissions where she was exposed to the worst of human nature. Linda has drawn upon her professional and personal experiences while writing her Red Dust novel series, but the stories are a work of fiction and do not depict any person, living or dead.
