Tracey Liens beeindruckendes Debüt: Literarischer Thriller und bewegendes Familiendrama um Identität, Schuld und Sühne. "Lasst ihn doch gehen." Die junge Ky, Tochter vietnamesischer Einwanderer, empfindet bittere Reue, ihren Eltern diesen Satz gesagt zu haben. Nun ist ihr Bruder Denny tot, vor aller Augen ermordet auf der Feier seines erfolgreichen Schulabschlusses. Und nach Jahren kehrt Ky nach Cabramatta zurück, ein Einwanderervorort von Sydney, wo ihre Eltern noch immer leben.

The words she spoke when her parents called to ask if they should let her younger brother Denny out to celebrate his high school graduation with friends, in a neighbourhood growing more unpredictable by the day. That night, Denny–optimistic, guileless, valedictorian Denny–is brutally murdered inside a busy restaurant in the Sydney suburb of Cabramatta, a refugee enclave facing violent crime, an indifferent police force, and the worst heroin epidemic in Australian history.
