THE LATEST GRIPPING HARVEY AND FRANKLIN THRILLER
Sandi’s gripping fourth rural crime thriller.
Enjoy as a standalone or as part of the
Georgie Harvey and John Franklin series.
How many lives can one incident shatter?
Teaser
For one Daylesford cop, this will be their last callout. Another may not make it. A third will call it quits.
Black cloud on a winter’s morning signals what nobody could’ve seen coming. An anything-but-routine welfare check by two Daylesford police officers at a farm in Korweinguboora. A fatal house explosion that leaves a rural community reeling.
Local cop John Franklin and Melbourne journalist Georgie Harvey are among the first responders at the property. The crime scene is compromised by fire and tonnes of water, and speculations run rife. Murder-suicide? Accident or sabotage? An isolated incident or just the beginning?
As lives hang in the balance, Franklin seeks answers and someone to hold accountable while Georgie investigates her toughest story yet. But will one of them crack?

5 stars from Karen, AustCrimeFiction Reviews
“With its intriguing storyline and appealing characters, Black Cloud is a great read. I’m determined to get my hands on Sandi Wallace’s backlist, and I’d recommend those who enjoy rural Australian crime fiction do the same.”
