What you need to know before your trail
The world is in economic meltdown, but a mining town on the edge of nowhere is booming. With the town’s population exploding, it’s easy enough to hide a crime—or even a dirty past. Banished to the stock squad after the fallout from a police frame-up, Detective Senior Sergeant Cato Kwong is brought in from the cold to solve the case of a torso washed up on the wild shores of the Great Southern Ocean. When Kwong’s investigation lifts the lid on the exploitation of migrant workers and disturbs an even darker criminal mind, the fallen cop faces powerful opposition.

Travel Guide
Sunderland, North East England
The action starts off in Sunderland, North East England. It’s 1973 which was a very memorable year as the local football team won the Cup Final. It’s also the day for an horrific murder which will have repercussions for years to come.
Remote mining town of Hopetoun, Western Australia
Most of the action and story takes place, thousands of miles away in Western Australia.
Senior constable “Cato” Kwong, has been demoted for reasons which becomes clear and he gets the case of a body, washed up at the beach of HopeToun.
Hope Toun is a tiny seaside retirement town. It’s the home of miners who have come from all over the country to work on the local mines which have rich mineral reserves ready to be exploited. This town is the symbol of a country’s success and the future of the country’s mining potential. It also acts as a strong indication of the strength of its workforce so if production is affected in anyway, the repercussions are going to be varied and dangerous.
In such a rural area, the police can’t cope with a serious crime like this.Cato comes into the force as an outsider, from another force and as an Australian with a different skin tone and heritage to most others there.
