It only takes one spark
It’s the biggest case of her career and Eliza Carmody is on the ‘wrong’ side. She is defending a large corporation that people believe was responsible for the devastating bushfire that nearly destroyed her hometown. When she returns to Kinsale, a place she thought she’d left forever, Eliza witnesses a crime that sends her on a dangerous quest to uncover the mysteries of her childhood that the rest of the town seems happy to ignore.
When police discover human bones at ‘The Castle’, a historic homestead, Eliza becomes convinced that the answer lies in the events on a New Year’s Eve years ago, the night her friend Grace disappeared forever.
With the town still reeling from the fire’s aftermath, powerful local families are determined to protect young men from the consequences of their actions. Eliza begins to suspect that no one – even the most trustworthy – is telling the truth.
