Three strikes and you’re out right? Ann is an indie writer. She never dreamed people would actually read her books and want more. Two series in, she’s lost her belief that she is worth anything to anyone but her family. Harsh words from a man she loved reinforces that belief. Who would want a woman destined for a wheelchair? Nick and Memo lost the closest family they had within a year of each other. They grew into their manhood disconnected and never knew unconditional until they meet Ann who only does ‘all in.’ Watching her exes stroll through her life, at the worst possible moments, trying for a second chance, isn’t easy. Can they prove their love for her is the unconditional she craves and not lines from one of her books? Can they do this while protecting her and her family from the stalker that will do anything to own his very own Ann?

    But everyone has a choice: to become involved or to take a stand against it.'Colin Dillon is an extraordinary man. He was the first Indigenous policeman in Australia. But that is actually a very small part of his story.He was also the first serving police officer to voluntarily appear before the Fitzgerald Commission of Inquiry in 1987 and give first-hand evidence of police corruption. He did this at a time when the Fitzgerald Inquiry was beginning and struggling for traction. His evidence at the Inquiry was instrumental in eventually sending some police, including Police Commissioner Terry Lewis, and politicians to prison.Revealing, powerful and uncompromising, this is the story of Colin Dillon's nearly 40 years in a police force rotten to the core. It describes the extraordinary range of criminal activities - drugs, gaming, SP bookmaking, brothels, vehicle theft - that were allowed to operate with impunity in return for bribes. It also tells of the high price an honest man and his family paid for his decision to break the code of silence.
