Eden Carmichael, a politician, is found dead in a brothel on a hot afternoon. Sandra Mahoney mulls over a demeaning photograph showing Carmichael in a dress and blonde wig. When a lobby group asks her to investigate a company producing filters for the internet, Mahoney is surprised to discover a trail that others have ignored. "Eden" shows Mahoney and her creator, Dorothy Johnston, at their most assured and accomplished yet. Her novel "One for the Master", was shortlisted for a Miles Franklin award.
