Softcover. 'Rock Spider' is the prison term for paedophiles and child rapists. The police of the Child Protection Unit wear the insignia of a scorpion. The scorpion is the natural predator of the rock spider. After 14yr. old Tegan Wagner was raped by several brothers in Sydney, her emergency call set off a chain reaction that led police to other gang rapes by the brothers. Their crimes took place against the backdrop of a violent cultural clash between young Muslim men and young western women. The book is a narrative, built on dialogue, character and forensic detail tracking the cascade of crimes by 6 brothers, and the courtroom drama of 4 teenage girls encountering a legal system loaded against rape victims.
