In this modern day tale of broken moral compasses, Frances Brennan, a successful highflying lawyer, and Gino Rossi, a reformed crim, carry the two lead characters on a journey with their respective views on life and the afterlife, making use of their protective dogmas as their drivers. Their protagonist and antagonist roles appear to reverse as they each encounter some of life''s serious crossroads.  Despite their abiding respect and affection for each other, the two become perilous foes, who use mentors and external creeds to justify their own deep convictions. Armed with these convictions, Frankie and Gino choose their separate courses of action, all wrapped-up in serious ethical dilemmas, right through to the thrilling end, when the line blurs between social justice and social carnage. Ethically adrift, Frankie and Gino manage to re-purpose their opposing understandings of God to suit their conflicted consciences and behaviour. Values and principles narrow to a single purpose. While maybe not as extreme, the novel echoes ethical dilemmas we''ve all faced, or may face sometime in our lives. It will challenge readers and stimulate discussion and debate about what keystones we use to sort right from wrong, and how difficult it can be sometimes to distinguish between the two.  It leads us all to consider how and why at times we do the right thing for the wrong reason, and sometimes the wrong thing for the right reason. Not stuffy or highbrow, this book is for thinkers in the general community, as well as fiction lovers, thriller readers, faith holders, legal professionals, and even senior high school students.

Beachside Como and South Perth in the 1950s and 60s - the time and place of my early life. Then, even more than now, Perth''s remoteness gave its citizens a distinctive independent spirit.To guide you to that distant time and place, I write as wholeheartedly as I can - of Perth, the city of my youth, as well as the events, people, songs and movies that moulded me. That said, the biggest influence in the making of this Perth boy was my dad. So this memoir is as much his as mine.In my dad''s bleak childhood in Northern Ireland, family life and family love were absent. Sadly, such emotional harshness fractured his self-belief.Like boys the world over, I copied my dad to be loved by him. And in my case, as I grew, I soaked up dad''s repressed childhood anxieties. Eventually, they became a persistent, unwanted inner voice telling me I wasn''t good enough. As a young man, finding and then grappling with the source of my deep insecurity became a relentless quest. And yet, as you will read, it was because of that personal struggle that I discovered a way to admire and accept my dad as he was.
