"...it has all the elements of a classic Australian yarn. Small country town, men in the pub, the footy team, power and politics. " - Helen

City meets Bush
Sonya Bird is a rising star in the world of Government: successful city lawyer, political networker and governance problem solver. She is ready for the next step on the political ladder, and her mentor, former boss and Government fixer, Grant McCabe, was ready to help. She just needs an Inquiry under her belt: preside over one, not just appear before it. And Grant had one that would suit: the Wills Reach Council enquiry.
As is often the case, everything was not as it seemed. The local strongman, Jimmy O’Brien, was a wirily old campaigner who was not ready to toss it all in for a city woman. Into this mix is thrust Justin Murphy, global governance policy expert and Wills Town refugee forced to return to the land of his origin and colourful extended family. That family includes one Jimmy O’Brien.
