この電子書籍について

Western Australia, 1988. After betraying the Knights bikie gang, 17-year-old Lee Southern flees to the city with nothing left to lose. Working as a rogue tow truck driver in Perth, he is captured by right-wing extremists whose combination of seduction and blackmail keeps him on the wrong side of the law and under their control. As the true nature of what is driving his captors unfolds, Lee becomes an unwilling participant in a breathtakingly ambitious plot – and a cold-blooded crime that will show just how much he, and everyone else, still has to lose. A noir crime novel, True West is full of white-knuckle suspense perfect for readers who like thrilling, gritty fiction. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK ' But for all of Whish-Wilson' s skill with impactful action and white-knuckle suspense, True West ultimately reveals itself as a complex morality tale about the tenacious spread of prejudice.' Books+Publishing ' This is compelling, thrilling, and still feels like it could be played out today ...' Readings
