'Henry Herbert put his family in prison. There were always going to be consequences.

'Henry Herbert was supposed to conduct his uncle’s eulogy in Margaret River, send him off in style. Instead, he exposed his family’s secrets: murder, and a hidden network of servers worth millions. With everyone behind bars, Henry travels back to Margaret River to search for his half-sister, Lillian, who may have avoided his family’s wrath.

'But it’s not long before Henry receives a chilling warning. There were more parties involved in his family’s illegal activities, and at least one of them is cleaning up shop.

'Lured to the first body, it’s clear the warning is real. Compelling Henry to dig deeper. Daring danger to follow him from Margaret River to Perth.

'When people start disappearing, leaving precious few for Henry to trust, he wonders: is there actually another party cleaning up, or is his family using their stranglehold on the town to erase anyone who’ll testify against them?

'Former police officer and teacher, Henry Herbert, must give a eulogy for his uncle, Graham. An uncle he hasn’t seen for fifteen years. An uncle his estranged relatives knew far better.

'There’s a reason Graham chose Henry, the truth buried within a list of items for the funeral. All straightforward requests, except the last: Find Lillian. Nobody claims to know any Lillian in Graham’s past. Henry can tell they’re lying, curiosity piqued.

'Henry arrives in Margaret River to prepare for the funeral, eager to unravel a mystery Graham was on the cusp of solving. But as he and his wife, Lucy, get closer to the truth, they find themselves fighting for their lives, unsure who to trust. It seems Henry’s family will do anything to protect their secrets, and they haven’t been afraid to kill before.
