The Winter Road: A Story of Legacy, Land and a Killing at Croppa Creek by Kate Holden

An epic true story of greed, power and
a desire for legacy from an acclaimed
Australian storyteller.

July 2014, a lonely road at twilight outside
Croppa Creek, New South Wales: 80-year-old
farmer Ian Turnbull takes out a .22 and shoots
environmental officer Glen Turner in the back.

One one side, a farmer hoping to secure his family's
wealth on the richest agricultural soil in the country.
On the other, his obsession: the government man
trying to apply environmental laws.

The brutal killing of Glen Turner splits open the
story of our place on this land. Is our time on
this soil a tale of tragedy or triumph - are we
reaping what we've sown? Do we owe protection
to the land, or does it owe us a living? And what
happens when, in pursuit of an inheritance for
his family, a man creates terrible consequences?

Kate Holden brings her discerning eye to a 
gripping tale of law, land and entitlement. It is
the story of Australia.
