ItÂ’s the decade since the infamous inquiry into corruption tore the state of Queensland apart. But for George Verney, disgraced journalist and bit-player in the great scandals of his day, the inquiry has never quite finished. After ten years of self-imposed exile, drawn by the terrible death of a man who was his friend, he reluctantly returns to Brisbane, the city of his downfall. In a town he no longer recognises and through the underworld that has forgotten him, George must seek out the other hidden survivors of his times, to confront the truth about their common past and to find a way to let the dead rest in peace.
Born in Dalby, Andrew McGahan burst onto the Australian literary scene with the publication of his Vogel Award winning debut Praise. Most recently Andrew won the 2005 Miles Franklin Award with his novel The White Earth. Shaun Charles is a Brisbane-based writer and director. His produced work includes Lead Sister, 3 Points of Contact and Rio Saki and other Falling Debris.
