It is 1946 and Billie Walker has taken over the Sydney private investigation agency previously operated by her father. Billie had spent much of the war in Europe covering war stories so she is used to many forms of danger, however it takes a strong character to adapt to the prejudice she faces when working in what is perceived to be a strictly male occupation.
When a woman arrives at the office asking Billie to find her missing son, Billie is pleased to have the opportunity to work on a case that does not involve tracking unfaithful marriage partners. However it is not long before Billie and her assistant, Sam, find that they are investigating not only a possible kidnapping but proceedings tied in with criminal activities during the war. Set in parts of post war Sydney and in the Blue Mountains this book is another welcome addition to the expanding world of Australian crime fiction.
