ABOUT THE BOOK
'Retro noir with a gutsy heroine and atmospheric setting ... vivid, page-turning historical crime'
Sydney Morning Herald
Private investigator Billie Walker is on the scent, uncovering the secrets of her family's past, travelling aboard the first postwar luxury passenger ship from Sydney to Naples in search of answers. And as the trail leads her toward two women whose history is entwined with her own, she realises she is not the only one at risk. Billie's father had an enemy - one who may now be stalking Billie around the world - and the closer Billie gets to the truth, the more danger she finds herself in.
