In Conversation with Laura McCluskey

Join us for an evening with Laura McCluskey, bestselling author of The Wolf Tree.

We are delighted to be hosting author Laura McCluskey as she visits Ballarat to celebrate her hauntingly atmospheric and gripping new novel ‘The Cursed Road’.

Laura will be in conversation with local author Paula Gleeson.

About The Cursed Road

In a mountainous region of the Scottish Highlands, a young woman’s body has been found on a remote stretch of road. Though the manner of her death suggests a terrible accident, a name carved into her arm hints at something more sinister.

And when a personal connection to the name is revealed, DIs Georgina Lennox and Richard Stewart are sent to investigate.

As George and Richie question locals, they discover that the road has a bloody history. Fearing that more women will be harmed, they track the killer through a rugged wilderness where ancient feuds, generational curses and the unforgiving elements fight for supremacy.

But there are more secrets to the road than just its history – and the people living along it will do whatever it takes to stop those secrets from coming out.
