About this ebook
A port city simmering with secrets, where loyalty is tested and justice hangs in the balance.

As Swann investigates, the death of two women reveals a dark undercurrent of corruption and exploitation. Navigating a web of naval personnel, bikie gangs, and long-buried secrets, Swann must confront his own demons while seeking justice for the victims. But with his health failing and powerful forces at play, can Swann uncover the truth before it consumes him?
For readers of hard-boiled crime fiction and Australian mysteries.
