Summary:
"Maya de Jong is an eighteen-year-old country girl who moves to Melbourne and lands a job as a secretary at a global import company. Her boss is a middle-aged businessman whose wife is dying of cancer, and who turns to his young employee for solace that becomes an affair. After his wife dies, he invites Maya to accompany him on a vacation with an unsavory business associate, and she accepts. When Maya’s
parents
, Toni and Jacob, arrive for a long-planned visit, they find their daughter mysteriously gone. As Toni and Jacob scour Melbourne for some sign of Maya, they are forced to confront the route that brought them there: the yearning and dreams, restlessness and indecision of their pasts. As a young woman—the most beautiful in her town—Toni rebelled against her
parents
and begun dating a slick, mysterious character named Cy Fisher. It wasn’t until she was deeply entangled in Fisher’s life, however, that Toni discovered who this man really was: a ruthless gangster. Jacob was an associate of Fisher’s, and, both fearing for their lives, he and Toni fled together."--Back cover.
