Australian journalist Judith Wilkes travels to Malaysia on assignment and becomes entangled in a story far more dangerous and morally charged than she anticipated, caught between personal desire and professional duty. Written with unflinching realism and emotional depth, d'Alpuget presents a searing portrait of racial tension, political corruption, and human compassion in a society on the edge. The novel won the 1981 Age Book of the Year Award, cementing d'Alpuget's reputation as one of Australia's most powerful and socially conscious storytellers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956373729499,"sku":"2026200008564-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/76d26685-c355-4b5a-819c-30a1509b8743.png?v=1783500470","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008564-secondhand-turtle-beach","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
