"Some relevant facts about Grace Malloy: apart from being named after a 100,000-year-old skeleton, she is twenty-nine and for much of the past three years she has been hiding from an erotomaniac." "Physically and emotionally besieged, Grace attempts to claw back her personal territory by abandoning her inner-city life as a film reviewer and fleeing to the remoteness of the Kimberley - where existence and territory have altogether wider implications. Lying low, working in a wildlife park, she reclaims her sanity amid the crocodile pens and snake cages by visualizing herself as a media creation - a woman of mystery: a woman overcoming the odds. Her only links with the outside world are two men: her father, a controversial anthropologist famed for discovering the ancient remains of 'the first modern woman', and her nemesis - her stalker." "Part film noir, part action thriller, part road movie - Grace reflects on matters as timeless and contemporary as the countless varieties of love and the nature of human fear, whether tangible or illusory."--BOOK JACKET.Drewe, Robert is the author of 'Grace', published 2005 under ISBN 9780241141724 and ISBN 0241141729.
