Description
A 100th birthday celebration forces Jack Furey to confront his wartime experiences as a police sergeant in Far North Queensland. In 1942, he worked with American authorities to establish an Air Force base near the local RAAF facility. As tensions rise and the town undergoes significant change, Sergeant Furey becomes determined to uncover the truth behind a murder claim made by the wife of a returned Australian soldier. His investigation puts him at odds with US brass and local dignitaries, who are reluctant to cooperate. This gripping historical mystery explores the complexities of racial relations in Far North Queensland during World War II, as Sergeant Furey navigates a web of secrets and lies to uncover the truth.
