COVER BLURB
The magpies are squabbling over territory in the cemetery. Chris has seen enough. He's ready to leave but he can't. It's not time yet. There's something he needs to do before he goes.
While he waits, Chris reflects on the event that shaped his life. He recounts the physical and psychological journey from a traumatic childhood to his troubled teenage years. Before he's old enough to vote, or buy a beer, he's confronted with the grim task of taking lives in the service of his country. But Chris has found his peace at last. His fighting is done.
REVIEW COMMENTS
" Moving, shocking and life-affirming. This book packs a dramatic punch because it's brutally honest, based on real events and tackles real issues. It's also a gripping tale of suspense: who, exactly, is buried in the cemetery? "
" There's simply more to this book than meets the eye, from a heartfelt and at times gritty coming-of-age story to a tale of suspense that keeps you hooked until the very end. An intricate plot delivers many twists and turns, exploring a number of important issues. Ultimately, it's a story about losing someone you love and how you cope with the loss. "
