Darwin's Wake
Paul Winter arrives in Darwin to take up a job offer from his old school friend Roland Redman, instead he finds a mystery: Roland has vanished. At the same time, a sea container abandoned on the docks in the blistering heat of Australia’s Top End exposes a crime of international consequence.
As Sergeant Bill Yates of the Northern Territory Police races to uncover the truth, his investigation leads him to Kamahli, a refugee from Sri Lanka’s long and brutal civil war. Haunted by her past and entangled in the present, Kamahli may hold the key to both Roland’s disappearance and far larger conspiracies.
Set against the raw beauty and rising monsoonal tensions in Darwin, Darwin’s Wake is a gripping crime novel where lives and cultures collide, and survival demands courage, loyalty, and sacrifice.
