This is our friend's very first published book.
What the blurb says:
In the dark days that followed 9/11, the hardest thing was sorting the good guys from the bad. In Australia they got it wrong. Saira Abdiani and her friend, Amir Ali Khan, are Afghan refugees with a violent past. When Saira and Amir both disappear from the Woomera Refugee Detention Centre, the cops, the secret service and a ragtag gang of vigilantes are all on the trail. Steve West is a former football hero turned mining engineer who just wants a dirty weekend in town. He ends up seeing the dirty side of the War on Terror.
Here's another blurb - which I like the sound of more...
Steve West, mining engineer and ex-footy star, just wants a dirty weekend in town, but he can't stop people telling him their secrets. When crusading Kara incites a breakout in the desert, Westie finds himself her reluctant accomplice. Soon he's got a runaway asylum seeker in tow, and all the world, it seems, on his tail...
