AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A sweltering Sydney summer and things are about to get even hotter for Detective Sergeant Tathra. A sacred Aboriginal skull is stolen from the museum, a guard murdered, and a mate of Tathra's framed for both. Making her job even harder are distinct signs of high-level corruption, while the city newspapers seem to know more than they should. From the streets of Sydney across country to the steamy Top End, Tathra pursues her case against prejudice, accompanied by a set of characters almost as odd as the crime itself.' - back cover
