ABOUT
THE BOOK

Time is running out for James Dent. On the trail of missing singer Billy K, his team has exhausted every lead. The investigation has cost Dent his marriage, his home and possibly his job. All he has left is his instinct, and a copy of ‘Show Me the Sky’ – the book Billy was reading when he vanished. With only the clothes on his back, Dent himself disappears. He believes he can solve this case alone. He can have little idea where this journey will take him. From the love letter of a motorcyclist stranded in central Australia, to the back streets and brothels of Mombasa, Dent begins to wonder if he is trailing a man, a ghost or himself. Mystery, adventure, historical voyage, and journey of discovery – Show Me the Sky is an unforgettable ride
