The Angel of the Bloomfield : Tropical Gothic psychological thriller
Overview
THE ANGEL OF THE BLOOMFIELD
Some roads are meant to be travelled alone.
Mat is running out of map. Fleeing the wreckage of his life in Melbourne, he rents a campervan in Cairns and heads straight into the oppressive, suffocating heat of the deep north. His destination is Cooktown, but the ancient, watching rainforest of the Daintree has a memory much longer than the tarmac cutting through it.
Then the road turns to red dirt, and Maya steps out of the trees.
She is charismatic, uncanny, and claims to be a local. But as the monsoon sky turns bruise-violet and the first heavy drops of rain begin to fall, Mat starts noticing the things that don't add up. She doesn't sweat in the stifling humidity. Her boots are clean despite the ankle-deep mud. And she seems to know the secret, aching griefs of his inner life-things he has never spoken aloud.
When a fuel stop near the Bloomfield River reveals a weathered, fading missing-persons flyer from July 1998, Mat's blood runs cold. Pinned to the board is a photocopied face from a decades-old mystery.
A face that belongs to the woman sitting eighteen inches away from him in the passenger seat.
Trapped in a two-tonne metal box on a single-lane track, with no phone signal and a violent storm cell hammering the canopy shut above them like a jar lid, Mat must figure out who-or what-is sharing his cabin. Because Maya never lies. And she has promised to get him to the end of the road... whether he survives it or not.
