ABBEY’S BOOKSELLER PICK —— Rowland Sinclair is back! In this fast-moving mystery, Rowland has volunteered to fly renowned activist Egon Kisch from Perth in order to subvert the possibility he will be denied entry into Australia. Before that happens though, there is a murder on the steps of Parliament House, his first love reappears to wreak emotional mayhem, various political shenanigans, encounters with rightwing thugs and the continued disapprobation of his older brother… Great fun, with a clever weaving of real people and incidents into the narrative, adding depth and interest.

Volunteering his services as a pilot to fly renowned international peace advocate Egon Kisch between Fremantle and Melbourne, Rowland is unaware how hard Australia's new attorney-general will fight to keep the raging reporter off Australian soil. In this, it seems, the government is not alone, as clandestine right-wing militias reconstitute into deadly strike forces. A disgraced minister, an unidentified corpse and an old flame all bring their own special bedlam. Once again Rowland Sinclair stands against the unthinkable, with an artist, a poet and a brazen sculptress by his side.
