The Beach Volcano
By Nigel Featherstone
After years of estrangement, Canning Albury, a revered and irreverent singer-songwriter, returns home to celebrate his father’s eightieth birthday. His welcome is mixed, at best. But Canning has made the trip for more than just a glass of Pol Roger and an eyeful of Sydney Harbour at sunset. He carries a secret about his family’s murky and uncharted past—a secret that could be explosive.
"Assured and compelling, The Beach Volcano holds you to the last page and beyond."
— Andrea Goldsmith
