Jane Caro is a Walkley award-winning Australian columnist, author, broadcaster, feminist, advertising writer, documentary maker and social commentator. She appears frequently on Q&A, The Drum, Sunrise and Weekend Sunrise. She has published thirteen books, including the bestselling novel ‘The Mother’. She returns to crime fiction for her second adult novel, ‘Lyrebird’.

Lyrebirds are brilliant mimics, so if they mimic a woman screaming in terror and begging for her life, they have witnessed a crime. But how does a young, hung over PHD student and a wet behind the ears new detective, convince anyone that a native bird can be a reliable witness to a murder, especially when there is no body and no missing person?

And what happens when they turn out to be right?
