About the Book

Leaving a troubled life in Ireland to go travelling in Australia, things take an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a mysterious girl. Witness to a double homicide, she is being hunted by a high profile gang involved in illegal immigration in Melbourne. They are pursued along the east coast, enlisting the help of the backpacking community along the way. As her story develops, they realise that events on the morning that the shootings took place suggest that the police are also involved. Not knowing who to trust, or how high up the chain it goes, they enlist the help of a sympathetic journalist who has written extensively on the subject in the broadsheets in Melbourne. As the chase continues, they struggle to stay one step ahead of their pursuers, always looking over their shoulder, finding help amongst like-minded travellers and eventually from a place he never expected. This journey takes them from Sydney to Cairns, from sunsets on golden sandy beaches to sunrises on Fraser Island and Cape Byron, from night-time car chases to being hunted through the centre of Brisbane by gun wielding criminals, but always finding solace amongst their own. Each of them will take their own personal voyage as the story unfolds. This is a story of friendship, loyalty, love and betrayal, and the girl that a lot of people need silenced.
About the Author: My name is Sam McKenna Born and raised in Balbriggan, Ireland. Some time traveller and explorer, though in my own smallest way, and now, by hook or by crook, living once again in the town in which I grew up. Balbriggan can be found on the east coast of Ireland, a one-time thriving fishing village boasting beautiful beaches, and where some of my fondest childhood memories still remain. I have been lucky enough to travel to many different places around the globe. From driving Australias outback to trekking the Inca trail in Peru, watching sunsets on the Copa Cabana to drinking bia hoi in central Vietnam. Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North & South America and Asia, all have had a profound and indelible effect on my life and who I am. I love music, sport, reading, walking, cycling and anything else that I can fit into my life. Singing and playing Irish ballads, telling stories or watching my beloved Dublin team chase championship glory year after year. And I love my family without whom nothing would have any meaning or relevance. In this, I have been blessed most. I am privileged to share my home with my wonderful wife Hilary and our beautiful daughter Éirinn who inspires us both. In my spare time, those brief moments interspersed amongst all those things that make life worthwhile, I like to write.
