Publishers Description: Bryan Brown has been telling stories with his distinctive Australian voice on TV and in film for a long time, but this time hes writing crime in his first book.Uniquely Australian and uncommonly good, I could hear the authors voice in every spare, haunting line. More please. - Michael RobothamMy friend Bryan Brown, quite apart from his other manifold talents, turns out to be an excellent writer. An authentic voice; highly imaginative yet completely believable, with a flair for fully realised characters and a gripping narrative … a great story teller. This is utterly baffling.
