In his gripping new political thriller, the residents of Gwydir, and intuitive Sydney detective, Susan Swift, must deal with a troubling series of murders. Newcomer, Barry Kingscliff, a party power-broker from the big smoke, appears to be at the centre of it all. Can anyone stop him ascending the ladder of corruption?
