The Colour of Shadows - A Seth Kelly Story

Seth Kelly is the nicest bad guy around. Dope grower, bouncer, and party animal, he's returned to his home town Cairns to find that new players - Sydney criminals, the Mafia and the most corrupt police force in the country - are changing the rules. When a teenage runaway, a marijuana king-pin, and a wealthy guru enter his life, Seth realises that everything he thought he knew - is now out of date.

Seth's a tough bastard, but the automatic weapons, vulnerable young women, kung-fu kicks, and freaky spirituality are starting to get to him. All he wants is that one big score, a chance to restart the best relationship of his life and to keep the darkest memory in his past right out of his head. Trouble is, what's really got Seth running . . . is himself.

Tough, authentic and drenched in sunshine noir style, The Colour of Shadows is a white-knuckled thrill-ride through an untold time and place. Based on decades of personal experience, extensive research and many interviews, this is the first book of a trilogy set in Far North Queensland, Australia in the 1970s & 1980s.
