When human remains are found in the camping grounds at Tallowwood Reserve, Jake’s new case turns out to be linked to August’s cold cases, and Jake agrees they’re not suicides at all. He runs summer camps for the local Indigenous kids, plays rugby with his mates, has a close family, and he’s the local LGBTQIA+ Liaison and the Indigenous Liaison Officer. Senior Constable Jacob Porter loves his life in the small town of Tallowwood in the middle of the rainforests in northern New South Wales. His work is his entire life, and he’s convinced a string of unsolved cold-case suicides are linked to what could be Australia’s worst ever serial killer. Since the death of his boyfriend eight years ago, August works alone, lives alone, is alone - and that’s exactly how he likes it. Sydney detective August Shaw has spent the last decade of work solving cold cases. Cold cases, murder, lies, and an unimaginable truth.

Jack Zipes’s introduction traces the history of the book’s reception and explores the tensions that Salten experienced in his own life-as a hunter who also loved animals, and as an Austrian Jew who sought acceptance in Viennese society even as he faced persecution. Life in the forest is dangerous and precarious, and Bambi learns important lessons about survival as he grows to become a strong, heroic stag. Originally published in 1923, Salten’s story is more somber than the adaptations that followed it. This masterful new translation gives contemporary readers a fresh perspective on this moving allegorical tale and provides important details about its creator.
