Fleur McDonald is the author of 24 novels clocking up more than 850 000 book sales across a career that has spanned more than 16 years.

She is a best-selling rural crime author and has built a loyal fanbase of readers with her incredible cast of characters and settings - the most popular and recognisable of course is Detective Dave Burrows. 

But in a move that is set to cement Fleur’s reputation as a master of crime writing, Fleur has released a brand new novel called ‘The Prospect’. 

Published by HarperCollins Australia, 'The Prospect' is a gripping, high-stakes thriller exploring the Australian gold mining industry, outlaw motorcycle gangs and most interestingly the ever-increasing phenomenon of grey nomads who are hitting the roads across this vast country of ours. 

A fantastic story which had me hooked from its opening pages and I was delighted to welcome Fleur to the podcast recently to chat about it.
