From award-winning writer Fiona Capp comes a novel about blackmail, risk, corruption and consequences, think Ian McEwan meets Peter Temple, set in the millionaire's playground of Portsea. This is modern Melbourne literary noir at its finest. Having lost all his family's money in ill-advised investments during the GFC, Ned is reduced to squatting in a boatshed in wealthy Portsea. He is avoiding the world, particularly his sister, Angela, who after an accident, is now a paraplegic, confined to a wheelchair, and completely dependent on both her carer, Mai, and Ned - not to mention the income from their family investments. But, one day, Ned overhears a conversation between a millionaire property developer and a politician, and realizes that this might be his opportunity to restore their fortunes...if he has the nerve. A nail-biting and compelling story of risk, blackmail and the corrosive nature of guilt, and how we all have to live with the consequences of our actions.
