About this book
In the sun-drenched haze of 1948 Bondi, Dorothy "Dot" Campbell is suffocating. Trapped by a war widow's pension and a society that offers her no future, she drifts through days of salt air and quiet desperation until a friend’s minor mystery sparks a hidden talent. When the local police prove stubbornly inept, Dot steps into the shadows of Bondi Pavilion, uncovering secrets that stretch far beyond the beachfront. But every clue pulls her deeper into a dangerous game, and the quiet widow is no longer just observing—she’s becoming Bondi’s unlikely, unbreakable detective. The first case for Dot Campbell is just beginning.
