Description
Sam is a young boy recovering from an operation that has left him mute. He lives with his mother and sister, Katie – all dutifully cared for by Aunt Dettie. As he struggles with his inability to speak, his mother begins to date again, and Dettie reacts very badly. After an unexpected phone call, she packs Sam and Katie into the backseat of her car and tells them that she's taking them across Australia to be reunited with their estranged father. But as Dettie drives from Sydney to Perth in the middle of a sweltering and dangerous bushfire season, her behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and soon the children begin to realise that there is something very wrong. Voiceless, Sam can only watch helplessly as the trip becomes a nightmare…

Professional reviews
"“A original, cracking read…Sign is unputdownable” THE SATURDAY PAPER “Sam’s vulnerability that racks up the suspense in Sign, a claustrophobic road-trip thriller… It's a slow burn of a road novel that creeps into psychological thriller territory, with tension and real menace lurking under an innocuous veneer.” CANBERRA TIMES"
