The Break
From the author of the literary hit, Deadly Unna?, comes a fast-paced rite-of-passage set amid the mythical surf and island culture of Bali, and up to its neck in the madness of its politics and the terrifying consequences of breaking the rules...
A fast-paced rite-of-passage from the bestselling author of Deadly Unna?.
Growing up with the famous Bali surf at his back door, sixteen-year-old Taj had an idyllic childhood - until ten years ago when his father was arrested for smuggling drugs. He's been on death row in Bali's infamous Kerobokan Jail ever since, leaving Taj in an uneasy limbo. When an execution date is set, Taj is left with one course of action - bust his dad out of jail and hightail it back to Australia.
What follows is the desperate, dangerous ride of a father and son on the run. As events unravel and time runs out, Taj uncovers startling truths about his family, his girlfriend, and the stranger he is rapidly falling for.
