A retired special forces soldier is set to expose the corruption and decadence of the upper levels of Australian society. The day arrives to present his evidence but there is a glitch, and he is ordered to flee to Western Australia, where he finds himself in the frame for the murder of a fourteen-year-old boy. The killer's intended victim was a lawyer about to start a new job with her old boss, a QC known for his success in prosecuting political corruption trials. When the counterterrorism laws are used against her current business partner, she suspects someone other than the elected government is controlling the strings of power, and her past comes back to haunt her.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Dan Cotton, AKA Phil Mayne, spent the first fifteen years of his working life travelling the world with the Grey Funnel Line (Royal Navy). He then joined the world of commerce and pretty much carried on travelling as before. In the eighties, he started a business that eventually listed on the Stock Exchange and delisted in 1989 after the crash of 1987. He didn't make much money, but he learned the hard way, about the underbelly of high-end business operations and decided there were better ways to earn a crust.Twelve years in the IT world kept him going until he decided to do his own thing and start an art gallery with a picture framing service. In the event that he doesn't make squillions from his writing, he'll still be framing, painting and writing until he carks it. *Who is Dan Cotton? Sometimes, even he's not sure. He's one of those folks who, no matter where they are in the world, will always be mistaken for someone else.*Having written nothing more than business proposals and letters, he started on his first manuscript and soon realised he badly needed help. That's when he joined the Katharine Susannah Prichard Writing Centre (WA) and, with encouragement and critique from KSP's Thursday Night Group, he has been able to complete 11 full length Novels and three Short Story Anthologies.*For twenty years, He's been a member of a team who compete annually in the Open Section of "Write A Book In A Day" [www.writeabookinaday.com]. This is a national competition aimed at improving child literacy while raising funds for children's cancer research. Several of the team's entries have been winners, or highly commended, and have since been privately published. Not only is it a hard day's slog it's one of the best ways of testing one's writing, and Dan wouldn't miss it for quids.
