Description
When you're at the end of the line with nowhere to turn - how far would you go to protect the one you love? A man is found dead in an inner-city suburb, a police officer walks the blurry line between duty and loyalty, and a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks is on the run. Ana soon becomes a suspect in the murder investigation and as sole carer for her young sister is desperately trying to stay ahead of the law. In a surprising twist, the detective in charge of the case is no stranger and Ana is forced to face her past and the things she has left behind. Unsure of who she can trust and isolated by her crime, Ana is drawn into a passionate affair that breaks all the rules. 'This warm, spare novel is a powerful reminder of how young people can fall through the gaps, alone and unseen. Jessen's story moves at a crackling pace. You will not want to put it down, and when you do, you'll want to read it all over again.' Lisa Jacobson, author of The Sunlit Zone
