Where the Dust Settles

a gripping battle for justice – and life – against Big Asbestos in Australia.

A fictional account of the asbestos industry. Through his work in asbestos litigation, Duncan has acquired an exhaustive knowledge of the scientific literature about asbestos-related diseases. He has cross-examined, examined and interviewed many of the leading experts in the world on the subject. He also has been involved in a number of test cases about dust diseases. Although his novel will draw on his experience in this litigation and some actual events, it will largely be a matter of invention.

where the dust settles

Where The Dust Settles was launched by renowned author, lawyer and lecturer Roy Williams.

“The definitive account – in novelistic form – of a genuine Australian tragedy.”

“An important book – in my judgment, a very important book – that deserves to be read and studied widely.”

“It is a morality tale, Dickensian in its scope. But it is also a terrific, entertaining read. I devoured it in a weekend.”

“Many times I laughed out loud … I was also touched by the human side of the novel – for it is also a beautiful love story.”
