Can the past ever be left behind? Ask a flawed detective, a former refugee, and a government desperate to misuse a dead body to reshape Australia's security policy... Melbourne is a city on the brink, suffering from arson-fed bush fires, searing heatwaves, and the potential threat of terrorism. Detective Inspector Robbie Gray, falling foul of Police bureaucracy, gets called to a body found lying in a rural swamp. When the nationality of the victim is revealed, ASIO takes over her investigation, and she is sidelined. Convinced they are misinterpreting the evidence, Robbie - along with a disenfranchised policeman - secretly digs for the truth . . . and discovers an entirely different motive, one which transcends international borders and exposes corruption in the humanitarian world.
