Marion Carmody is a creature of habit, an author at heart, a secretary by profession. ​The morning our story begins, like every working morning for the past twelve years Marion catches the 7.22 am train from Ferntree Gully to Melbourne via the City Loop, but this morning, for the first time it has been a poor decision.​Little did she know before the train reached its destination that she would be a fugitive on the run from the law with a fellow fugitive, Geoffrey McLean who is under suspicion of murder.​This exciting adventure takes the reader from The City Loop in Melbourne to Cape York in Far North Queensland and back, with many twists and turns along the way.​Three straight police officers amongst corrupt police officers.​Journalists prepared to print anything as long as it sold papers.​Australian mateship at its very best, tender moments and much, much more make this story an unforgettable journey into life itself.
