Scars Can’t Tell: There is always a way out but we need the help of others, Philip J Bradbury, 2023, Amazon, Australian thriller
Abused Christine runs for her life from Alice Springs, thinking shy Edward has killed her husband. Edward tries to follow her and picks up an Aboriginal girl about to be sold into the slave trade. Christine finds the apparent safety of their home farm, near Ipswich, is far from safe and a group of unlikely friends join her to unmask and challenge corrupt police and city officials in 1983, the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era of rampant dishonesty and intrigue. It’s several love stories and a thriller, all in one.
