In The Seven, homicide detectives Ivan Lucic and Nell Buchanan are called to the remote town of Yuwonderie in New South Wales to investigate the murder of Athol Hasluck, a member of a powerful local dynasty known as "The Seven." These founding families have controlled the region's irrigation empire for over a century, amassing wealth and influence. As the investigation unfolds, the detectives uncover a complex web of secrets spanning multiple generations. The narrative weaves together three timelines:

1913: Bessie, a young part-Aboriginal woman, begins working for the Titchfield family, one of the Seven.

1993: Davis Heartwood, heir to another family, delves into the history of the irrigation scheme, uncovering truths that some wish to remain hidden.

2022: Lucic and Buchanan's present-day investigation into Hasluck's death.

As they dig deeper, the detectives face increasing danger, with the town's elite determined to protect their legacy at any cost. The Seven is a compelling thriller that delves into themes of power, corruption, and the long-lasting effects of historical injustices.
