xA searing look inside Australia's immigration detention system. Nick Harris, adrift in life, becomes a refugee-prison guard in a remote detention center. He's no crusader, just a man in debt needing a job.

Behind the wire, time warps. Asylum seekers share stories of their lives, their families, their cultures. They steal with humor, swear with anger. Nick breaks rules: slacking off, swimming with crocs, brawling, romancing. His cardinal sin? Friendships with detainees.
Drawn from the author's experience as a guard, Spinifex & Sunflowers offers a realistic window into a hidden world. It's one man's vision, looking through the wire at those locked inside our desert prisons, and looking out at the system that put them there. For readers of contemporary Australian fiction seeking social commentary and moral complexity.
