G'day mate!'
Tom half-recognises the voice but after a quick whirr his stagnant
brain cells are unable to place it.
'Yeah?' he says cautiously.
'It's me!' The voice is way too friendly. 'Jonno?'
Tom s whole body goes rigid. He slumps against the wall and slowly
slides to the floor, squatting with one arm curled around his head,
just as though he were warding off a monster or a pack of thugs.
You owe this guy..., the words ring through his head as
clear as church bells. Tom Mullaney, you owe this guy big
time...
Maureen McCarthy is an expert at depicting families and friends,
and in this book she creates intensely real characters that draw
the reader deeply into a world of suspicion, guilt, love and
redemption
