He has recently been placed with Stuart and Kay Heath, a childless couple who live in the Australian outback on a cattle station which Stuart manages for its wealthy owner. Hoping for a 'real' boy, they are bitterly disappointed. Johnnie is not quite the foster child they had in mind: he is 'cheeky and lazy, cowardly and stubborn.' So when he claims to have witnessed a murder they remind him of the boy who cried wolf. But then Johnnie and Kay are invited on a camping trip. A special treat to give Johnnie another chance to adjust to life in the outback? Or a cunning trap by a ruthless killer? (Source: Book jacket)
