AUSTRALIAN BOOK REVIEW
In Surry Hills – Sorrow Hills as so many of the older folk called it – death was death and love was love, no matter who was suffering it.
The setting: Razorhurst, 1932. The fragile peace between two competing mob bosses – Gloriana Nelson and Mr Davidson – is crumbling. Loyalties are shifting. Betrayals threaten.
Kelpie knows the dangers of the Sydney streets. Ghosts have kept her alive, steering her to food and safety, but they are also her torment.
Dymphna is Gloriana Nelson’s ‘best girl’, experienced in surviving the criminal world – but she doesn’t know what this day has in store for her.
When Dymphna meets Kelpie over the corpse of Jimmy Palmer, she pronounces herself Kelpie’s new protector. But Dymphna’s life is in danger too. And while Jimmy’s ghost wants to help, the dead cannot protect the living…
A timeless tale of love and violence in long lost Razorhurst with characters I truly cared about.
MELINA MARCHETTA
