a Seth Kelly Story

The Weight of Love is the second book in The Colour of Shadows trilogy, featuring Seth Kelly

Tough, authentic and drenched in sunshine noir style, it''s a white-knuckle thrill-ride through an untold time and place - the wild tropical north of Queensland, Australia in the 1970s & 80s. From the coral reefs, misty highlands, dry gemstone and marijuana country, to rock''n''roll pubs and parties, five-star restaurants and remote beaches it''s a world of epic natural beauty, absolute personal freedoms - and some very dangerous people.

Seth Kelly''s got a bit of history.

A private investigator in small town tropical Cairns, he''s left the security work and dope-growing behind. But when an old friend is jailed, Seth gets pulled back into a dangerous world he''d rather forget.

Getting hard-case crims to turn witness against two of the most evil bastards in the far north isn''t easy, but it''s the rock-star guitarist he''d being paid handsomely to baby-sit that''s really doing his head in.

With heavy boys on both sides of the law unwilling to let his reputation die, Seth must keep his cool -and temptation at bay. All he wants is to spring a mate from prison, make a few dollars - and hear a classic song get written in his house..

Doing the right thing will get him put in the ground.
