Catherine Jinks - The Attack (2021) ENG

Robyn Ayres works as the camp caretaker on Finch Island, a former leper colony off the coast of Queensland.
Her current clients are a group of ex-military men who run a tough-love program for troubled teens.

The latest crop looks like the usual mix of bad boys and sad boys. Then Robyn takes a second look at a kid called Darren.
Last time she saw him his name was Aaron, and Robyn was his primary school teacher.
And she was somehow at the centre of a vicious small-town custody battle involving his terrifying grandmother.

Bruising classroom dynamics, manipulative parents and carers and horrendous small-town politics form the backdrop to a nail-biting thriller in which the tensions of ten years ago start to play themselves out, building to a violent climax in the present day.

Robyn escaped the past once.
Now it’s back – and this time there’s no way out.
