What is Shepherd about?

My father trained me to silence the way he trained his dogs, with food and a cane. Speech, he said, was poison. It scared the game, alerted the gamekeepers and betrayed your friends and family. Tom Clay was a poacher back in Suffolk. He was twelve when he was caught, tried and transported to New South Wales. Now, assigned to a shepherds' hut out west, he is a boy among violent men. He keeps his counsel and watches over his sheep; he steers clear of blowhards like the new man, Rowdy Cavanagh. He is alert to danger, knowing he is a foreigner here: that the land resists his understanding. The question is: how fast can he learn? Because a vicious killer named Dan Carver is coming for Tom and Rowdy. And if Tom can't outwit Carver in the bush – and convince Rowdy to keep his stupid mouth shut – their deaths will be swift and cruel. This riveting, fast-paced new novel from the multi-award-winning Catherine Jinks brings the brutality and courage of Australia's colonial frontier vividly to life – and sees one of our master storytellers at the peak of her powers. Catherine Jinks' books for adults, young adults and children have been published in a dozen countries and have won numerous awards
