From the Derwent to Lygon Street to the dust and flies of Kalgoorlie and the deep loam of the Swan Valley, K.A. Hudson has created an enthralling story with a wonderfully authentic and likeable main character, whose plight grips our hearts and seizes our attention. Hudson's sense of the dramatic as well as her feel for the Australian character and landscape makes this an irrepressible read. Melbourne, 1970 - bustling, cosmopolitan and undeniably exciting for a young woman fresh from the Apple Isle. But beneath the veneer of a city on the move is a sinister underbelly of cops on the take, standover thugs and illegal gambling dens into which a confident but naïve Constance O'Hara unwittingly falls.Stuck in a spiral of crime and violence, Constance's attempts to break free result in a brutal attack...and the belief she has killed her assailant.Hunted and in constant fear for her life, Constance assumes a new identity and flees across the continent to Western Australia's Goldfields to start a new life. But the past has long shadows and when her old life catches up with her, Constance must fight to save herself, the life she has created and those she loves.
