A Wise Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228836520)

One weekend in 1987 five young Australian tourists climb Mount Huli in the rugged Highlands of Papua New Guinea.

After a wild party in a climbers' hut, one of the group goes missing, never to be seen again, leaving a child to grow up fatherless.

'Tis a wise child that knows its own father, as the proverb says, even more so when the search for truth lurches into a maze of unanswered questions, family feuds, psychotic jealousy, revenge, blackmail and death.
