Description

Danny's life has been one of careful concealment. For three years, he has lived out of a grocery storeroom in Sydney, Australia, trying to create a new identity for himself after fleeing Sri Lanka as an illegal immigrant. His accent is hidden, his hair styled with highlights, and he has found a sense of normalcy with his vegan girlfriend, Sonja. But when Danny discovers that a female client has been murdered, he is faced with a difficult choice: come forward with his knowledge about the crime and risk deportation, or say nothing and let justice go undone. As he grapples with this decision, he must weigh the weight of his past, his dreams for the future, and the unpredictable reality of living invisibly and undocumented. This searing and inventive novel illuminates the courage of displaced peoples and the cruelties of those who conspire against them, raising important questions about responsibility and justice.
