ABOUT THE BOOK
An audacious bank robbery is masterminded by an unlikely criminal: Sunni Sinclair. She’s a classy escort and pub owner, who decides to extract her revenge against the Sydney underworld.
In 1954, Sunni Sinclair breaks free of Australia’s gangland, reinventing herself as a pub owner in a lawless mining town near Sydney. A champion of justice, she challenges societal norms, advocating for women’s rights and downtrodden miners, but soon feels confined by the expectations of society. Fueled by vengeance and seduced by the sirens of illegal adventure, Sunni masterminds a stunning heist that echoes through the underworld and leaves a trail of dazzled and outwitted men in her wake. As her crime threatens to consume her, Sunni gambles everything on a daring bluff. Sunni’s journey reflects on society at that time and searches out the porous boundaries between legal and illicit.
