Frank Swann is back in another edgy and disturbing crime thriller that's too close to the truth for comfort.
When an American navy ship docks in Fremantle it brings a wave of trouble. It is Fremantle in 1989, and PI Frank Swann is at home, suffering from an undiagnosed and debilitating illness. When Frank is called in to investigate an incident at a local brothel, it soon appears there is a link between the death of two women and the arrival of the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Carl Vinson in the port city.
But Frank has more problems of his own. An escaped con is about to draw him into the crooked operations of the Gold Squad, sparking a sequence of retributions and counterstrikes Swann will be powerless to halt.
