Strange Objects: The CBCA Award-winning bestseller

Gary Crew

On 4 June 1629, the Dutch vessel Batavia struck uncharted rocks off the West Australian coast. By the time help arrived, over 120 men, women and children had met their deaths - not in the sea, but murdered by two fellow survivors, Wouter Loos and Jan Pelgrom.

Nearly 400 years later, Steven Messenger discovers gruesome relics from that wreck. Four months later he disappears without a trace. Where is Messenger? Is his disappearance linked to the relics? Someone knows … somewhere …

‘this stunningly original work defies easy categorization as it spins dual story lines into one spellbinding yarn … Crew tantalizes to the very end, leaving readers to speculate enthusiastically on the riddles he craftily leaves unsolved. His tale will electrify his audience.’

Publishers Weekly

‘STRANGE OBJECTS will continue to tease and perplex readers of all ages long after it has been read.’

Australian Book Review

‘A supernatural mystery of a high order’

Kirkus Reviews

‘The past is alive in us all, and will test our humanity to the full.’

Marion Halligan
