Charlie Jardim has just trashed his legal career in a spectacular courtroom meltdown, and his girlfriend has finally left him. So when a colleague slings him a prosecution brief for the remote coastal town of Dauphin, Charlie reluctantly agrees to go.

The case is murder. The victim was involved in illegal abalone trading and even more illegal drug trafficking. And the witnesses aren't talking. As Dauphin closes ranks around him, Charlie finds his interest in the law powerfully reignited.

Critic reviews

"Shades of Jack Irish and a hint of Rake." ( Good Reading)
"Serong's prose is evocative, his dialogue convincing, and the atmosphere of small-town life pungently suggested." ( Canberra Times)

Above the door in the Amsterdam Resistance Museum is the quote "What would you have done?" This book asks the same question but it lays out the background, the thinking behind the question and the factors which combine to destine which is evil and which virtuous behaviour.

A strong philosophical book.
