2000s: There are secrets waiting in Port Silver…
On a bright sunny day in Port Silver, ex-journalist Martin Scarsden misses a call from his girlfriend Mandy. Checking his voicemail later, all he hears is her terrified scream before the phone cuts off.
Back at the house, he finds a policeman unconscious on the floor, and Mandy gone.
So starts a twisting tale of intrigue and danger, as Martin probes the past of the woman he loves, a woman who has buried her former life deep.
And for the first time, Mandy finds denial impossible, now the body of a man has been discovered – a man to whom she was engaged to marry. It’s time to face her demons once and for all; it’s time she learned how to trust.
We start in Port Silver where the previous novel Silver was set. Not long before we are transported by Chris Hammer to a very memorable side to Sydney. This is Hammer’s version of the city and you really get to see it in a new light.
What we soon discover is the many facets of Sydney’s dark side: crimes, scandals, secret clubs, violence and murder. As we go from one to another, the locations of the city flash before your eyes. Redfern, Pyrmont and the well-known Surry Hills.
