In a stunning debut that will keep you guessing till the last chapter, unhealed wounds are reopened when new DNA evidence gives a mother one last chance to discover the secret of her son's murder.

Fifteen-year-old Darren Davies is found facedown in the Weymouth River with a gunshot wound to his chest. The killer is never found. Ten years later, his mother receives a visit from the local police. Sandra's best friend has been found dead on a remote Pilbara road. And Barbara's DNA matches the DNA found under Darren's fingernails. When the investigation into her son's murder is reopened, Sandra begins to question what she knew about her best friend. As she digs, she discovers that there are many secrets in her small town, and that her murdered son had secrets too.

Industry Reviews
'... tautly plotted, brilliantly characterised and laced with venomous moments that lay bare the town's racial and criminal histories. The River Mouth marks the debut of a brilliant new voice in Australian crime fiction.' --David Whish-Wilson
