Excerpt
Falco listened to the playful babble of the water, and every so often he caught a trace of the damp-silt scent rising from the river’s edge. A glorious contrast to the desert’s dry, dusty odour.

‘I’m thinking about home,’ Falco said with a fond sigh. ‘About the last time I took my boy, Pavo, fishing.’ There was something about the word last that caused the conversation to fall into a short lull.
