Inside every person you think you know, there is someone you dont know. Contemporary crime thriller set in the grimy tangled innercity laneways in Melbourne.
In a grimy graffiti covered recess a woman is found stabbed and strangled. "why would anyone want to kill her, she was so ordinary." was the oft repeated phrase DI Gray heard when the name of the deceased was revealed. So, why then, she asked herself was the body found propped up in such an extraordinary position, almost as if she were intimate with the portrait painted on the wall. Was this death meant to be symbolic or was the placement merely a device to deceive.
Set against a background of civil unreest and rising white extremism, a government tained my corruption and a family desperate to hide secrets, DI Gray, along with her Indigenous officer Mac, while grappling with demons of thier own, must dig deep if they want to find a killer.
Was this a random thrill kill, politically driven or tragically personal. When an arrest is made, DI Gray realoses that not killers hold a weapon, maks dont always disguise, and the legacy of long held secrets can have tragic consequences.
