Luke Harris wants a decent job, a small place and a dog. Then Gus Alberici, the old boss from his teenage mistakes, slides back into view. Luke’s father is missing along with money that is not his, and a new girlfriend’s family has their own trouble brewing.
Favours turn to threats as past and present collide. Scott paces it cleanly with backstreet grit and blunt choices. Expect rusted locks, tight corners and a man trying to win back a life. Tropes: ex-criminal pulled back in, missing parent, underworld payback.

After years away from his home town of Melbourne, Luke Harris is back on track. All he wants is a normal job, his own house and a dog.
But Luke is a man with a past, when life was anything but peaceful and his skills ran to the dark side. A past not easily forgotten – or forgiven.
When he crosses paths with Gus Alberici – the brutal criminal he worked for as a teenager – he's dragged reluctantly back to his old life. Luke's father has vanished, along with a chunk of Gus's cash. And something is up with his new girlfriend's father ...
As his past and present collide, can Luke keep his long-held secrets – and outsmart a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants?
