  Winner of the 2019 Banjo Prize for Fiction 
  She's isolated. Trapped. Hunted. An almost unbearably tense Australian survival thriller. 
    
  Not much daylight left now. 
  So begins the field diary of Alix Verhoeven, whose impulsive acceptance of an offer to spend Easter on a remote island has turned into a terrifying ordeal. Hiding in a tiny cave, she carefully rations out her meagre supplies, while desperately trying to figure out how to escape the men hunting her. She is determined not to be a victim. 
  What do they want with her? She knows it's nothing good - she overheard enough on that first night to flee. But now she's got little food or water, no way of calling for help, and only her skills as an exploration geologist and memories of Atkinson's Bushcraft Guide to survive. 
  By day she is disciplined and lives by strict plans, but at night she finds herself haunted by questions about her life that she has never wanted to face. 
  And her time is running out.

  Tiger Lily Of Bangkok In London...

  The Tiger is on the Prowl Again! 
  After the devastating effect her rampage had on her own life and the citizens of Bangkok in her early days as a medical student there, Lily`s life quietened, and she settled down to her studies. After two years, she won a scholarship to work in Great Ormond Street Children`s Hospital in London and moved there without Ron, who continued his education in Bangkok. 
  `Tiger Lily of Bangkok in London` picks up her story in her second of two years as a student doctor at the hospital. She loves her job there, and gets on well with the staff and children patients alike, but she has no friends outside work. 
  On one of her days off, she reads an article in the Sunday Times about organised paedophile rings in London involving the very establishment of the country itself and it incenses her. 
  She can either ignore it or get involved. 
  Her first reaction is to avoid re-arousing the Demon that had possessed her in Bangkok only a couple of years earlier, but when she meets fellow victims of child abuse, the die seems cast. 
  This story is not for the squeamish, but does not describe acts of child abuse. It does, however, make frequent references to notorious scenes of child abuse, especially the infamous `Meat Rack` on Piccadilly Circus in central London. 
  Many of the issues raised are still under police enquiry at the time of writing, although few people expect anything to come from them. 
  Shame on our so-called leaders, who would rather protect the powerful abusers than the powerless abused!
