After his wife dies, Reg Butler decides he needs a break. He embarks on a house boat cruise with three other couples; ostensibly, to clear his mind and ease the uncertainty he is feeling about his future. But his previous life catches up with him and he must clean up the remains of an outlaw bikie gang he has been controlling for a Federal Police task force. This is the second novel set in North East Victoria, in the town of Purger's Creek. The first, A Simple Act of Vengeance, will be available soon.
