It’s 1986, Sydney, Australia, the fading of a long, overheated summer. Jimmy Brailey is a young detective sergeant and he’s in trouble. He’s deep in debt and his mercurial wife, Trudy, wants divorce. But she’ll stay on one condition. Jimmy needs ’to get his act together’.
Even Pretty Eyes is the thrilling and compulsive story of a man who’ll do anything to save his warped marriage – a raw and piercing account of infidelity, obsession, betrayal, and the botched kidnap of a ten-year-old child.
