The Rajab sails for Australia.
Aboard: 180 women convicted of petty crimes.
Daughters, sisters, mothers – they’ll never see home or family again. Despised and damned, they have only one another.
As the Rajab sails farther from land, the women spend their days working on a patchwork quilt of rare beauty. Until, in the middle of the unforgiving sea, a young mother is murdered. As the desperate hunt for a killer begins, everyone on board is a suspect.
Based on the real-life voyage of a convict ship, Dangerous Women is a thrilling and deeply moving mystery, narrated by a group of women as unforgettable as the events they describe.
