Some images haunt you. Others demand justice.

As an army sweeps through a town, a war photographer falls in with them. At first, the camera is there to bear witness to the atrocities of war. But as time progresses, the photographer begins to question their role.

Whose truth will be told? How close do they need to be? And what would those pictures say about us all?

Author:
Mark Rafidi is a teacher, author and surfer. He lives, works and plays on Murramarang Country. His wipe-outs are far more an entertaining spectacle than when he’s upright. Salt Runs Through is Mark’s fourth novel, with The Photographer coming 2025. Previous works are Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, The Library at the Edge of the World, and Ishmael Oud: A father/son journey into occupied Palestine. Mark has a Doctorate of Creative Arts (Creative Writing). Coming from mixed heritage, his stories explore identity, belonging, and the intricacies of Australian society.

The detailed illustrations contain Steampunk-style elements and reflect Pauls fascination with the silent films of the early years of cinema and a lifelong obsession with the 1930s which he attributes to being raised by older parents in the post-war city of Plymouth UK.
