On Cringila Hill

When a teenage boy is killed in a drive-by shooting, the events that unfold rock the lives of the migrant families of Cringila. School friends Jimmy and Piggy have witnessed the violent crime, but need to protect their fledgling drug business. A gritty story about drug wars, drive-bys, sexual assault and long-buried secrets, this book draws loosely on real events and is set in and around the Wollongong suburb of Cringila Hill a place where hope and choice for young people are in short supply. One of the most multiculturally diverse areas in New South Wales due to the large influx of migrants who were employed at the Port Kembla steelworks, this was once a thriving centre of industry. It's different now.
