Small town secrets and divisions come bubbling to the surface in Sarah Thornton’s gripping debut crime novel.

Former corporate lawyer Clementine Jones is living in self-imposed exile, passing the time by coaching a country-league footy club and trying to forget the past. Now the team is winning, and the pressure is on to take the Cats to their first grand final in over fifty years.

When her star player, Clancy Kennedy, quits on the eve of the finals, something doesn’t stack up.

Clem’s a tough negotiator, used to getting her own way—but when she sets out to win Clancy back, she uncovers a deadly conspiracy that puts them both in danger.

Solving the mystery could end in Clementine’s worst nightmare—the exposure of her shameful secret—but only if she survives to tell the tale.

About the author

Sarah Thornton

Sarah cast off the lines to her legal career not long after being declared Australian Corporate Lawyer of the Year in 2016. These days she’s something of a vagabond, choosing to live on a sailboat with her husband, Dean, writing novels, enjoying everything this big blue planet has to offer and chasing an endless summer. Her Clementine Jones series, which chronicles the crime-busting adventures of a fierce and feisty former lawyer, has been twice shortlisted for the Australian Crime Writers Association Ned Kelly Awards and received a starred Kirkus review. The most recent instalment, White Throat, was released in December 2020.
