The violent slaughter of the Primrose family while they slept shocked the nation.
The family's young live-in chef, Bill Kareama, was swiftly charged with murder and brought to justice. But the brutal crime scarred the idyllic town of Cambridge forever.
Seventeen years later, true-crime podcaster Sloane Abbott tracks down prison psychologist TK Phillips. Once a fierce campaigner for an appeal, TK now lives a quiet life with Bill's case firmly in his past.
As Sloane lures a reluctant TK back into the fight, evidence emerges that casts new light on the Primroses - and who might have wanted them dead.
While the list of suspects grows, Bill's innocence is still far from assured. What will it cost Sloane and TK to uncover the truth? Hachette Australia, Taken from book cover.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"Brilliant. This book set a high bar for the Ngaio Marsh Awards this year."
"I can honestly say this is Pomare's best book yet - it demonstrates his maturity as a writer, with some excellent descriptive language and a skilfully conceived plot."
"It's so twisty, I feel as if I've been bitten by a snake."
"This book is not for those who can't stomach the descriptions of the brutal and bloodthirsty murders of a family, from knife wounds."
"J.P. Pomare writes a great murder thriller set in N.Z. Was sure I had solved it several times - but no. Some fun detail with references to Ngaio Marsh."
" A very well crafted crime novel. The novel is based around the investigation by a true-crime podcaster - this provides a fascinating perspective."
"The investigation into an old crime is deftly handled, and the social issues concerning racial prejudice/profiling and the failings of our justice system make the book thought-provoking and interesting."
