On a remote cattle station in Outback Australia, four gold prospectors push their luck and pay the price. Venturing too close to the homestead they attract the attention of the landholders, who arrive armed and dangerous. Only three of the prospectors make it out alive.
This is the true story of Bruce Schuler's murder at Palmerville Station in Far North Queensland, by the cattle farmer leaseholders Stephen Struber and his wife DIanne, who had for decades been terrorising all who dared cross their land. Or as Struber saw it, playing 'Cowboys and Indians,' using real bullets.
As circumstances played out, the author interviewed the couple about their recalcitrant behaviour shortly before the crime, and found himself inadvertently caught up in the tragedy. This IPPY award-winner is a crime story with a difference, a chilling look at the darker side of isolation, and what can happen to the civilising influence of society when nobody's watching.
