Nick Bolton returns to Hobart from London after his mother’s death. Feeling his life to be without direction, he meets the enigmatic Anita and starts working at Anita’s Bar. A tragedy occurs, and Nick finds himself at the centre of a tale of revenge and retribution where old friendships are tested and it becomes impossible not to take a stand. Must good people suffer in order to right a wrong? This is the question Nick is forced to grapple with as the mystery unfolds.
A propos de l’auteur
Peter Mc Donald was born in Melbourne, one of the lucky generation to have come of age in the late 1960s. He worked for many years as a social worker, community worker and academic in Tasmania and Western Australia before throwing it all in to help establish a food and music pub in Hobart. After seven years of exhilarating highs and stultifying lows, he sold up and has since revelled in a series of jobs including fruit and vegetable selling, festival organising, labouring on building sites, census collecting and part-time lecturing. Along the way he managed to wander the world, help raising two children and fill a bottom drawer with unfinished manuscripts. He currently lives in Hobart.
