About the book:<\/h3>\n

Most people in the small town of Dungirri have considered Morgan \u2018Gil\u2019 Gillespie a murderer for eighteen years, so he expects no welcome on his return. What he doesn’t expect is the discovery of a woman\u2019s tortured body in the boot of his car, and new accusations of murder.<\/p>\n

Wearied by too many deaths and doubting her own skills, local police sergeant Kris Matthews isn\u2019t sure whether Gil is a decent man wronged by life, or a brutal criminal she should be locking up. But she does know that he is not guilty of this murder \u2013 because she<\/em> is his alibi . . .<\/p>\n

Between organised crime, police corruption, and the hatred of a town, Gil has nowhere to hide. He needs to work out who\u2019s behind the murder before his enemies realise that the one thing more punishing than putting him back in prison would be to harm the few people he cares about.<\/p>\n

Kris is determined to help him, but will their search for the truth make her the next target?<\/p>\n
