Publisher's Synopsis
Prisoners of Fate - a corrupt magistrate, an underhand curator, a cat burglar to the rich, rival madams, a cheating husband, his tempestuous wife, art thieves and a psychopath eke out an existence in 1990s Hobart. All are ambitious, most are a step away from incarceration. A step in front of a fiercely competent female detective distracted by her colleague and suitor. Life was never meant to be easy.
Some doors unlock. Others close. Corridors darken and the pits of Hell yawn open as the lives of this rogues' gallery inexplicably entwine.
No one is above the law. Or are they?
Tasmania's master storyteller has assembled an eclectic cast of characters, each with their own skeleton's rattling in their closets. Bad is not evil, lies are better than the truth, crime does pay, sometimes ...
But in the end ...
Well, all hell breaks loose.
