Publisher Description
In a city where the guilty roam free, there are those who seek retribution…
After surviving the brutal siege of Srebrenica, Seka Torlak is trying to rebuild her life as a refugee in Melbourne, 1997. But her fragile peace is shattered when she spots a war criminal responsible for her father's death walking freely in the city. Determined to uncover his true identity and bring him to justice, Seka delves into an investigation that reveals a sinister underbelly of suburbia, where genocide deniers hide in plain sight.
Haunted by memories of war and loss, Seka grapples with the raging conflict within her: the pursuit of justice versus the thirst for retribution. As she navigates this perilous path, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for the truth. Will Seka find her salvation, or will she lose her soul in the process?

The Healing
To experience war is nothing any of us would ever wish on another person, but sometimes it is good to see a healing, albeit scarred, occur between opposing sides. This is a very believable tale of such a process. There is hope, not for things as they were before the conflict, but for a new balance to be created.
