Suspense-filled ingenious plots featuring corporate corruption and police power don't often ring true. But in his legal work, Perth QC Tom Percy has seen stranger schemes and known realler people than you meet with from novelists. His dark new novel is pure fiction. But because his imagination is guided by that experience, it's hard to believe it didn't happen, and that the men and women on his pages are just characters. This is an unsettling transcontinental tale of personal relations unfolding in tandem with ruthless market machinations. A desperate quest for the elusive sources of power and guilt involves outback gold prospectors, a vulnerable and glamorous journalist, and a hero like one of those eggs which are good in parts.
