Description
George Scott's life was marked by privilege and tragedy. Born into an Irish family that lost its fortune during famine, he fled to New Zealand before eventually sailing to Australia. There, he adopted the persona of Captain Moonlite, a charismatic outlaw who robbed banks and staged daring jailbreaks. Scott's crimes were driven by a desire for love and respect, which he found elusive in his life. He fell deeply in love with fellow prisoner James Nesbitt, but their relationship was complicated by Scott's criminal past. As the police closed in, Scott prepared for a final showdown - with both the law and the macabre executioner who had lost his nose. Told through extensive letters written from Scott's death cell, Moonlite is a gripping tale of love, crime, and survival set against the violent and repressed era of 19th-century Australia.
