Emily Tempest has been away from Central Australia for a long time - uni, travel, deadend jobs.  Finding trouble all over the world.  Now she's back at Moonlight Downs, the community where she grew up, half in the Aboriginal world, half in the white.  And true to form, there's trouble.  An old friend brutally murdered and mutilated.  An old enemy the only suspect.  Until Emily starts asking questions.
Take a nail-biting mystery, an epic setting and a heroine with a talent for stirring thing up, then throw in an affectionate flogging of outback Australia's melanoma-encrusted hide, and Diamond Dove may be the wittiest and most gripping Australian crime novel you'll read this year.

Praise for Diamond Dove

'Diamond Dove is funny, absorbing, moving and a delicious shock to middle-class pedantries about race relations. And your Emily. Your Emily Tempest, sir, is one memorable young woman...' Age

PRH, PRH

'Beyond being a hell of a good read, Diamond Dove is a multi-textured novel written by a man with something to say...This is popular literature of the stylish and substantial variety.' Sydney Morning Herald

PRH, PRH

'A brilliant portrait of different cultures attempting to coexist in a climate of ignorance, taboos, racism and greed...a denouement as impressive for its elegance as for its tension.' Guardian

'Words can barely describe the joy I felt on reading Adrian Hyland's first novel.' Weekend Australian
