The Weight of Love

By Gawain Barker

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.

Doing the right thing will get him put in the ground.

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.
