Here is the Australian thriller you've been waiting; for—a thriller more real and more powerful because its setting is Australian. Mr Harry Hodge will be applauded by lovers of crime fiction for this vigorous and hair-raising narrative. One murder—then another—and the gradual unfolding of a diabolical scheme to wreck the administration of a great country. A monomaniac, driven by lust for power, has laid his plans with fiendish cunning. Wealthy and respected, he plots secretly to become dictator in a country bred to democracy. Nor would he hesitate to barter that country to foreign powers to retain his control. This is the thrilling story of a national disaster averted by the courage and shrewdness of a few brave men. The author skilfully introduces romance and real humour to brighten his sinister tale. Jimmy Dixon is a sturdy and attractive hero and his romance with the beautiful and talented Valeric is charmingly handled. The stalwart ex-pugilist, Brogan, provides comedy in plenty. |
