Sinopse

Checkerboard HilI is a story of belonging, dislocation, misunderstandings, identity and fractured relationships.
When a family member dies in Australia, Ria flies from New Zealand and returns to the family and home in Australia she suddenly left decades before as a teenager. Waiting for her return are her husband and son in New Zealand. Neither family has met the other, and Ria has always kept her Māori, Australian, New Zealand identities and lives separate. But the family tensions, unfinished arguments, connections to places and meeting of former friends, lead Ria to revisit her memories and reflect on the social and cultural tensions and racism she experienced, and the decisions she made. The novel confronts the complexities of families, secrets and trauma and the way these play out across generations. It also explores the ways in which Māori cultural traditions and tikanga are transmuted
and transformed across the Tasman, across time and space.

    One bad night will change everything... 
    Officer Lexie Sarconi is preparing for the detective's exam and finding her footing with a new unit. However, everything that she's worked so hard to achieve is about to crash and burn. The criminals have declared war on the police. No one is safe, and when Lexie ends up trapped in an ambush, nothing will ever be the same again. 
    But as a police officer, Lexie knows the risks. She swore an oath to uphold the law, but her boyfriend, Detective Michael Riley, feels differently. If he had known what was going to happen, he never would have let her near that crime scene. And now he's willing to break all the rules to get the men who hurt her. 
    Lexie fears the lengths Riley is willing to go. She and the rest of the unit want to stop these criminals from striking again, but she'll have to keep her eye on Riley to make sure he doesn't do something that will land him behind bars or worse.
