Eddie lives in a small Australian mining town, post World War II. He longs to quit school, work in the mines, and hang out with his girlfriend, but a classmate's murder puts Eddie and others in a web of suspicion. Told in alternating first-person voices of adults and young people, this verse novel is an affecting tale of murder and forgiveness.
