Bøker av Humphrey Hartney

Annabelle Jones, Australia's best investigative journalist, thought she'd seen it all. From corruption, to war crimes to cover ups, she'd courageously broken some of the hardest hitting stories of her age and uncovered truths governments were desperate to keep concealed. Now, thanks to a mysterious government informant, she is quickly discovering she's hit the mother lode of state secrets. As Annabelle journeys across Northern Australia with her source, she finds herself balancing on an unforseen precipice of truth and lies. She may be unearthing a conspiracy so big it could rock the entire world's political order - but is she prepared? Is she still the fearless, veteran truth-teller, or a pawn in something so compellingly insidious that it is beyond even her world-weary comprehension?

At the end of 2019, the state of New South Wales erupted into flames. Intense local bushfires joined fronts and the subsequent megafire threatened lives, communities, and dramatically challenged how Australians saw themselves and their nation. Confronted by his burning world, poet and resident of the Blue Mountains, Humphrey Hartney, captures the drama and emotion of this great tragedy. Catastrophic is a powerful poetic witness account that reveals exactly how flammable we are.
