When Fred Scully arrives in Europe to prepare a new home for his family, his wife Jennifer never steps off the plane — leaving him stranded in a foreign country with only his young daughter Billie and a desperate, consuming need for answers. As Scully tears across the continent in a frantic search, Winton chronicles a man's unravelling with unflinching precision, building a narrative that is equal parts road novel, psychological thriller, and profound meditation on love and loss.\n\nShortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1995, The Riders stands as one of the most daring works in Winton's celebrated canon, showcasing the spare yet lyrical prose that has made him one of Australia's most internationally acclaimed literary voices. The novel probes the fragility of identity, the violence of grief, and the terrifying silence of those who hold our lives in their hands. Winton refuses easy resolution, leaving the reader to sit with the same unsettling questions that haunt Scully long after the final page is turned — chief among them: what if the truth is more devastating than the mystery?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49309672538331,"sku":"2026100009108-SECONDHAND","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5448482b-af2f-4f6a-9803-179d29a7aa50.png?v=1789455028","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009108-secondhand-the-riders-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
