The Cross Thieves, author Alan Fyfe

Two hungry boys set out from their squat by a slow river on a not quite mythic quest for revenge. At the same time, a local pastor drives from his beachside home to visit a dying parishioner. What each means to the other will be revealed as brothers, Gark and Pell, run for their lives over one desperate night, across a coastal town haunted by its past.The Cross Thieves is bold, mature and compassionate. And sprinkled with humour, 80s pop, carny lore, and the mysteries of philately. Fyfe's knowing eye for place, poverty and powerlessness and his empathy for the underdog is captured in an unforgettable story of profound emotional power.Alan Fyfe is a accomplished  Australian author best known for writing many contemporary literary fictions ... introspective and character-driven themes.To connect with Alan ....https://www.facebook.com/FyfePoet/https://transitlounge.com.au/book-author/alan-fyfe/
