Deep in the concrete of a Bankstown demolition site are buried two bodies and thirty years of secrets. Sydney, 1992. Nhu 'Ned' Kelly is a young detective making her way in what was, until recently, the best police force money could buy. Now ICAC has the infamous Roger Rogerson in the spotlight, and the old ways are out. Ned's sex and background still make her an outsider in the force, but Sydney is changing, expanding, modernising, and so is The Job. P.M. Newton worked in the New South Wales Police Force for thirteen years and brings an unparalleled authenticity to her portrayal of police life. The result is both a gripping crime novel and a brilliant portrait of Sydney's recent past. 'Relentless...what a multi-layered, powerful piece of writing. This novel puts P.M. Newton in the company of Marele Day, Gabrielle Lord and Peter Temple.' - Graeme Blundell
