'Alfredo (Fred) de Faino uses his great-uncle’s coded diary to chat his girlfriend, Julia Tsai, at their Rockhampton high school – and a whole two-year-long intrigue opens up across Queensland, Singapore, Scotland and New Zealand. The twisting story-line unravels a painful mystery of lost Scottish children; it searches for World War 2 loot hidden in a Central Queensland Aboriginal burial ground; and it solves the conundrum of a Malay artefact called the Suci Kancil. All the parts of the story are connected, weaving like the strands of plaited hair, to the climax.'
