The Child Soldiers of Melbourne

By Mate Antolos

An African family, fleeing crime and persecution, is confronted by the same type of violence they experienced in their homeland, in what was supposed to be a haven in a new country.

Inspector Emir 'Eddy' Muravic of the AFP is faced with the question: How far would you go for your children? When he is approached by a parent from the local African diaspora community in Melbourne.

What appears to be a simple case of gang crime soon becomes a complex network involving non-government organisations, outlaw motorcycle gangs, a banker and former African mercenaries who were once intelligence assets of Australia's spy agencies.

How will Eddy navigate cultural sensitivities and, in turn, not raise the eyebrows of ministers in government?

The third instalment of the Muravic series sees Emir taking another step towards becoming part of Australia's intelligence machine. Or does he want to?
