Miles Franklin long-listed author Robert Engwerda offers readers a glimpse into life during the Australian goldrush years. Weaving together crime, drama and history, Mosquito Creek (Viking, 2010) shows how complex life can become in a place where everyone is uncertain about their future and afraid to share their past.

Mosquito Creek

With constant rains, life for miners at the Mosquito Creek goldfields is more difficult than usual. As mines are flooded out and disease threatens, many wonder whether it is time to move on from the remote Victorian location to seek their fortune elsewhere.

With an unknown number of miners stranded by the floods on higher ground, a possible outbreak of cholera to contain and the local Commissioner Charles Stanfield possibly associated with the suspicious disappearance of a miner, Sergeant Niall Kennedy is struggling to maintain order amidst the chaos.
