Publisher's Synopsis
A retired special forces soldier is set to expose the corruption and decadence of the upper levels of Australian society. The day arrives to present his evidence but there is a glitch, and he is ordered to flee to Western Australia, where he finds himself in the frame for the murder of a fourteen-year-old boy. The killer's intended victim was a lawyer about to start a new job with her old boss, a QC known for his success in prosecuting political corruption trials. When the counterterrorism laws are used against her current business partner, she suspects someone other than the elected government is controlling the strings of power, and her past comes back to haunt her.
