About this listen

Hours after rejecting the Corrowa People’s native title claim on Brisbane’s Meston Park, Justice Bruce Brosnan is brutally murdered in his home. Days later, lawyers against the claim are also found dead.

Aboriginal people were once prohibited from entering Brisbane’s city limits at night, and Meston Park stood on the boundary. The Corrowa’s matriarch, Ethel Cobb, is convinced the murders are the work of an ancient assassin who has returned to destroy the boundary, but Aboriginal lawyer Miranda Eversely isn't so sure. When the Premier is kidnapped, the pressure to find the killer intensifies....

While the investigation forces Detective Sergeant Jason Matthews to confront his buried heritage, Miranda battles a sense of personal failure at the Corrowa’s defeat. How far will it take her to the edge of self-destruction?

An interesting story of revenge, justice, police brutality and A clever man. The story of Brisbane’s police state and the power of culture. I enjoyed it. Production error in lack of editing. Sandy Greenwood handled the multitude of characters well. Some transitions were difficult to follow in the audio format.

Revenge or justice?

There’s lots that is good about this book;I enjoyed the spirituality that is so uniquely found in stories from First Nations writers and the mystery. I would have liked to get to know some of the characters more deeply though.

Lots to like

I personally thoroughly enjoyed it was read by someone that speaks First Nation language, so was good to hear her view on the words. Am keen to find other books Sandy narrates.

Story - great book, with twists and turns and an surprising ending. Will be following this author

If you begin to become disoriented, keep going, but don't half listen. Yes, there is a shift, I think once I got the hang of letting go of having a grasp on the rhythm, I got completely sucked in and the ending came way too quickly

Didn't want it to end
