After leaving the Australian Outback to get an education, Emily Tempest--half-aboriginal, half-white--returns to her birthplace as an Aboriginal County Police officer. Emily's first assignment is a murder at the Green Swamp Well Roadhouse, a case that seems open-and-shut to her partner, by-the-book Sergeant Cockburn. But the suspect is an old friend of Emily's father, a prospector with a passion for philosophy. Could he really have committed this heinous crime? As Emily reconnects with her past, she must accept her new role, and learn to live between two worlds. This description may be from another edition of this product.
