Winner of the Ned Kelly Award for crime fiction.

Anne Carson is fifteen, beautiful, wayward. Abducted. The rich Carsons have closed ranks and summoned Frank Calder, subject to strict instructions. This is not the first kidnapping in the Carson family and hard lessons have been learned.

But are the two events connected? And is greed the motivation? Revenge? Or could it be something else? To find out, Frank Calder must go beyond his brief. And his every step into the darkness may end a girl's life.

'No summary or catalogue of details will do it justice. Read it for the writing and for where it says this sort of novel is today.' Age
