He came home for peace. Melbourne's underworld has other plans.

Luke Harris has worked hard to bury his violent past. Now he's back in Melbourne, chasing a quiet life, a normal job, his own house and a dog.

But Luke's old life isn't done with him. When he crosses paths with Gus Alberici, the ruthless crime boss he once served as a teenager, he's pulled back into the dark world of his past. Luke's father has vanished, along with a bag of Gus's cash, and his new girlfriend's father is acting strangely.

As secrets surface and danger closes in, Luke must outsmart a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Fans of Chris Hammer, Jane Harper and Lee Child will love this thrilling and full of heart debut.
