Synopsis

Charlie Jardim has just trashed his legal career in a spectacular courtroom meltdown, and his girlfriend has finally left him. So when a charitable colleague slings him a prosecution brief that will take him to the remote coastal town of Dauphin, Charlie reluctantly agrees that the sea air might be good for him.

The case is a murder. The victim was involved in the illegal abalone trade and the even more illegal drug trade. And the witnesses aren't talking. As Dauphin closes ranks around him, Charlie finds his interest in the law powerfully reignited.

 

"In Quota…we have pitch-perfect dialogue, and a strong sense of place about this small town in particular. The characters there are particularly believable and…actually quite likeable (a bonus). All of these elements combine to make for a very engaging, and extremely realistic debut novel." – Reviewing The Evidence

"Rich with nuanced observation of people in pressured situations and the theatrics of those who understand courtroom rules and customs…Serong’s human instinct flourishes." – Swellnet
