The Weight of Love - Paperback

by Gawain Barker (Author)

Seth Kelly has a bit of history.

A private investigator in small town tropical Cairns, he's left the security work and dope-growing behind.

But when an old friend is jailed, Seth gets pulled back into a dangerous world he'd rather forget.

Getting hard-case crims to turn witness against two of the most evil bastards in the far north isn't easy,

but it's the rock-star guitarist he'd being paid handsomely to baby-sit that's really doing his head in.

With heavy boys on both sides of the law unwilling to let his reputation die, Seth must keep his cool -and temptation at bay. All he wants is to spring a mate from prison, make a few dollars - and hear a classic song get written in his house.

Tough, authentic and drenched in sunshine noir style, The Weight of Love is a white-knuckled thrill-ride through an untold time and place - Far North Queensland in the 1970s & 80s. It's a world of epic natural beauty, extreme conditions, absolute personal freedoms - and some very dangerous people.

The Weight of Love is the second book in The Colour of Shadows Trilogy featuring Seth Kelly.
