An Australian historical novel

What would you riskfor the truth?

A forgotten legal battle. A celebrated politician. An ordinary man who refused to withdraw a single word.

A story of political power, personal conviction and a truth that would not stay buried.

“Do your damnedest.”

— James Kirkwood

Inspired by the true story of a Zeehan gardener who stood his ground against King O’Malley in 1907.
