'He was the only one left alive; now it was his turn to die.

'In September 1972, journalist Anna Rosen takes an early morning phone call from her boss at the ABC, telling her about two bombings in Sydney's busy CBD. It's the worst terrorist attack in the country's history and Anna has no doubt which group is responsible for the carnage. She has been investigating the role of alleged war criminals in the globally active Ustasha movement.

'High in the Austrian Alps, Marin Katich is one of twenty would-be revolutionaries who slip stealthily over the border into Yugoslavia on a mission planned and funded in Australia. It will have devastating consequences for all involved.

'Soon the arrival in Australia of Yugoslavia's prime minister will trigger the next move in a deadly international struggle.'

'In 2005, Marin Katich, living in Croatia under an alias, is being watched. By the end of that year, he has been assaulted, arrested, charged with serious war crimes and sits in Scheveningen Prison in the Hague, waiting for his case to come before the International War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Anna Rosen, a freelance journalist in Sydney, is sent photos on her computer of a man she knows to be dead—gunned down in an ambush in Bosnia. A man about whom she'd thought a lot. Is it possible that the photos really are of Marin Katich? And if so, what the hell had happened in 1992?

'From Croatia to The Hague to Bosnia & Herzegovina to Sydney, Anna and Marin's intertwining history fuels her determination to tear apart, piece-by-piece, his secrets, as Anna continues to hide from him the secret she's kept for thirty years. In a dangerous pursuit of justice and revenge, navigating the murky world of national and international secret agencies and those who would still be warlords, Anna fights for what she believes in and for those she loves.'
