From one of Australia's hottest writers comes a brooding novel of suspense and dark secrets, retribution and rock 'n roll. A lonely road on a dark night when the rain comes sheeting down. A motel room in a small town where fantasies fester and money changes hands. One man determined to preserve the past, at any cost. Another man trying to escape it. And between them a young woman with ink-black hair and secrets she doesn't want to tell. Joe's a man with memories he'd rather forget. Memories of driving through the rain one night when the world turned upside down. Now the rain's come again and Joe's world is spinning out of control.
