//The Water Dreamers// tells the story of the settlement of Australia and how our culture has been shaped by the scarcity of water and by the need to fill the imagined silence of the continent with the sounds of civilisation. It's the story of who we are today as much as a history of how the country grew. || This was the Murray Darling that journalist Chris Hammer found in the summer of 2009 as he drove along the river. //The River// tells the story of the things he saw and the people he met: of farmers practical yet delusional, of towns so friendly yet hidebound. He also tells stories of the environment, and sees first hand the effects of climate change, drought and mismanagement on the land. ||

 * Senior Library GIUT**

A young girl, "little more than a child", is found dying near a remote village in northern Tuscany; a week later the police still do not know her identity and the case notes find their way to the desk of Chief Superintendent Michele Ferrara, head of Florence's Squadra Mobile. The girl died of a lethal heroin dose but the fact that forensic examination confirms she was not an addict, coupled with her very young age, persuades Ferrara that he should investigate a likely murder. As he gets deeper into it, another murder takes place and the implications of the case begin to stretch out both across Tuscany as well as much closer to home for Ferrara. ||

Young Nour is a North African desert tribesman. It is 1909, and as the First World War looms Nour's tribe - the Blue Men - are forced from their lands by French colonial invaders.

 * Senior Library GRAN**

Although Holmes is the subject of just one of the mesmerizing true stories in this collection, all twelve contain elements of intrigue. Many of the protagonists are sleuths: a Polish detective trying to determine whether an author planted clues to a real murder in his post-modern novel; an arson investigator racing to prove whether a man about to be executed is innocent; a legendary French con man questioning whether he is the one who is suddenly being conned; and scientists stalking a sea monster. Unlike the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, these tales are all true. ||
