AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Gemma Lincoln wakes up one morning to find her clothes horribly slashed at the throat and crotch. Similar but increasingly sinister incidents are also reported. As the owner of a security and surveillance business, Gemma joins with the police to track down the psychopath. At the same time she is trying to prove that her father is innocent of a crime he has served 30 years in gaol for - the murder of his wife. Gemma's older sister, Kit, believes their father is guilty. As the violence escalates, Gemma discovers that the past and the present collide in a trap where she must fight for her life.' (Publication summary)

Works about this Work

Issues of Class and Gender in Australian Crime Fiction : From the 1950s to Today Rachel Franks , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Sold by the Millions : Australia's Bestsellers 2012; (p. 96-111)
In this chapter, Rachel Franks notes ‘‘Australian crime fiction writers imported many types of crime fiction from Britain, including the gothic mystery and the Newgate novel, and from America, including the locked room mystery and the spy story.’ She observes how Australian crime fiction has changed along with the ‘societies that produce it.’ She concludes that for Australian crime fiction to be attractive to mass market and an assured popularity, Australian crime fiction writers must respond ‘to the changing demands of their readers,’ and ‘continue to develop the genre with increasingly sophisticated stories about murderers and those who bring them to justice.’ (Editor’s foreword xii)
