'An audacious bank robbery is masterminded by an unlikely criminal: Sunni Sinclair. She's a classy escort and pub owner, who decides to extract her revenge against the Sydney underworld. In 1954, Sunni Sinclair breaks free of Australia's gangland, reinventing herself as a pub owner in a lawless mining town near Sydney. A champion of justice, she challenges societal norms, advocating for women's rights and downtrodden miners, but soon feels confined by the expectations of society. Fueled by vengeance and seduced by the sirens of illegal adventure, Sunni masterminds a stunning heist that echoes through the underworld and leaves a trail of dazzled and outwitted men in her wake. As her crime threatens to consume her, Sunni gambles everything on a daring bluff. Sunni's journey reflects on society at that time and searches out the porous boundaries between legal and illicit.'

What he doesn′t yet know is that a young man is being fed to a saltwater crocodile.

'So begins Murder and Redemption, an absorbing crime novel which follows in the traditions of Jon Cleary and Peter Temple. Moody and atmospheric, this novel takes us across the vast expanse of Western Australia, against a canvas of red iron ore mines, green seas, bulk ore carriers, ports, brothels, drugs and gangland violence.

'Having survived a brutal childhood in Bindoon orphanage, a tour in Vietnam and a spiral into alcoholism, Syd Fielding is now a detective sergeant in Geraldton. But when two men from the same cargo ship are murdered, he is drawn into the murky world of drug trafficking through WA′s mining towns. His investigation takes him alarmingly close to home and he is forced to realise that even the people he loves may not be what they seem...' (From the publisher's website.)
