It's 1938, the eve of World War II, and a pearling lugger in the Torres Strait is the place he chooses to hide. But Jack's demons follow him out to sea and rise to the surface just as surely as the pearl shell his divers collect from the dangers of the deep. Embittered, intelligent and self-destructive, Jack's only way to prove himself is to compete with, defeat and destroy the very weaknesses he fears.

Set in the expansive and beautiful Coral Sea, Jack's provocative tale of a dangerous captain and his young crew at odds with the elements - and each other - holds the reader breathless until the very last page.

Judy Johnson is an award-winning poet. She has published two collections of poetry, and has been published widely in literary magazines across Australia and the UK.

Reviews

"A 'wild mouse' of sea, sex and hallucination. Judy Johnson is a terrific storyteller." "Marked by a restraint that is a source of its disturbing force." "The narrative is compelling, characters powerful, and the setting at once squalid and rich. The tension sustained here between a claustrophobic pearling lugger and the seductive tropical seas is unrelenting." Expand reviews
