How Far Would You Go To Save Your Friends?
Melbourne 1942. As World War II rages in the Pacific, 16-year-old cadet reporter Murph and his cheeky Aboriginal friend Banjo are thrown headfirst into an explosive wartime conspiracy when their old nemesis is found dead on Christmas Eve.
All the evidence points to Banjo, who has disappeared without a trace. But Murph refuses to accept it, and—with the beautiful, enigmatic British spy Rose Atherton at his side—he dives deeper into a murky world of wealth and power.
Meanwhile, Banjo's sister Micki plans her daring escape from a POW camp in the Australian outback. But can she really trust her fellow inmates, and be reunited with her family and Murph? With dangerous forces closing in, Murph must decide whether to risk everything—his freedom, his job, even his life—to uncover the truth and save his friends.
The Deep Enders: Deadline is a race against time, with nothing but their wits, grit, and fireworks to unravel a deadly mystery that runs all the way to the top of the Allied war effort. This is the second book in The Deep Enders series.
