The price of an extraordinary offer. An ordinary man. An irresistible offer. A world he may never escape. Carmine makes his living delivering meat. His prospects are limited, and wealth is beyond his reach. Then an unexpected job offer changes everything. The salary is far beyond anything he could have imagined. Domenico is wealthy, educated, polished and reassuringly generous. For Carmine, it seems the chance to give his family the life he has always dreamed of. His wife, however, is not convinced. Something about the offer troubles her. The extraordinary salary is far beyond her husband's experience or capabilities. Unknown to Carmine is the powerful network behind the opportunity. Its roots lie in Calabria, where family ties, old loyalties and inherited traditions bind generations together. In Sydney, the same network operates behind respectable facades, shielded by money, education, influence and carefully cultivated reputations. As Carmine ventures further into this world, ambition and naivety become a dangerous combination. When he finally reaches out for help, he discovers that the tentacles of organised crime extend further than he ever imagined-including into the very police he trusts to protect him. Spanning Calabria and Sydney, this gripping crime thriller explores the seductive face of power, the hidden machinery of organised crime and the devastating price of easy money. Getting in may be easy. Getting out could cost him everything.
