AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Siren Boyd's birthday takes a turn for the worse when she is summoned to the home of her uncle, Big George Hay. George wants to hold a huge barbeque that will be the envy of his underworld rivals and he's decided that Siren is the woman to organise it. Handfuls of money make it an offer she can't refuse.' (Publisher's blurb, back cover).

Notes

  • Dedication: For Amaelia, the home girl

  • Epigraph:

    Not much difference

    between me

    and a vegetable

    at present:

    except that the vegetable

    is more fulfilled

    in having achieved

    full vegetableness.

    'Gardeners too must grow' Graham Alcorn
