About this listen

An exciting new voice in Australian crime, A. L. Booth brings you a tale of secrets and deception, and one man’s search for the truth.

Two days before Jack O'Rourke's embarkment to the Western Front in 1916, he leaps into Sydney Harbour to save an elderly Russian man, named Samuel Lomond, from drowning. What happens when Jack returns from the front and discover Lomond's brutal murder, is at the heart of this thrilling historical fiction saga.

Suspicious of Constable Flood, the man leading the murder-investigation, Jack takes matters into his own hands. Assisted by the local doctor and his wife, Jack complies a list of townsfolk who might have killed Lomond, only to uncover a twisted web of deceit and corruption, and the involvement of Russia's secret police in Lomond's murder.
