On a stormy Halloween night, Stella gets a call from her best friend, Detective Phuong Nguyen. Phuong has a problem. Or rather her lover, Bruce Copeland, does.
Copeland has been implicated in a police-corruption scandal, and the only person who can help prove his innocence has disappeared. The missing man is Isaac Mortimer, a drug dealer associated with the notorious motorcycle gang The Corpse Flowers. Reluctantly, Stella offers to help track him down тАФ and it isnтАЩt long before she is way in over her head: evading bikies, drinking tea with drug dealers, and, worst of all, hanging out in the MaccaтАЩs carpark with a bunch of smart-alec teenagers.
Then, when Stella discovers that local street kids are being groomed for some sinister purpose тАФ and that a psychopath with bust face tattooed across his knuckles is pursuing her тАФ she realises she has her work cut out for her.
Sounds easy? Too easy.
