Crime

Perfect Criminals

Someone is murdering movie scriptwriters and Danny Clay, and his Vietnamese sidekick Xan, need to find out why before they are the next targets. Ten years after surviving special operations in Afghanistan, Danny is working as a scriptwriter in the emotional war zone of TV production.

His best mate and editor is Vietnamese neighbour and script editor Zan who may or may not have killed a man with her bare hands. When their writer friends start dying in mysterious circumstances, Danny must resurrect his old army sapper skills to prevent himself and Zan becoming the next victims.

From the backstreets and brothels of Sydney’s Kings Cross to the fake sincerity of Hollywood, PERFECT CRIMINALS is an action-packed and hilarious romp through the dark side of the entertainment industry where criminals have the same skill set as movie producers – only with a more evolved moral code.

Tunnel Vision

Chaos seems to follow Danny and Zan. After narrowly avoiding a sticky end in Los Angeles, they escape to Vietnam to help out an old army mate of Danny’s and explore a new TV-writing project. But soon they become entangled in a web of mysteries: their friend is being poisoned, a government official’s daughter has disappeared, a mysterious body has been found in a canal, and there’s a bloodthirsty sun bear somewhere in the city.

It all seems to revolve around one powerful man, and he has Danny and Zan in his sights. They’ have to get on the front foot if they’re going to walk out of this mess.

Tunnel Vision sees fever-pitched adventure collide with sharply witty, pacey dialogue as Danny Clay and his (almost) faithful sidekick navigate the corrupt world lurking beneath Saigon’s crowded streets.

Why would anyone go to such extreme lengths to destroy an innocent couple’s lives? Is it the anti-dog-vax campaigner that they insulted on social media?  Is it the pro-Russian activist who objects to Cate helping Ukrainian refugees?

Mole Creek

In the tiny Tasmanian town of Mole Creek, retired Australian cop and Vietnam veteran Pete McAuslan has retreated to his fishing cabin to write his memoirs. In Sydney, his grandson, journalist and trashy true crime author Xander, learns that Pete has taken his own life, begging forgiveness in a suicide note.

Arriving in Mole Creek in the aftermath of Pete’s death, Xander discovers that his grandfather’s laptop is missing. With the local police not interested in investigating an apparently open-and-shut suicide, Xander sets about uncovering the truth of what happened to his grandfather.

In the process, he discovers long-buried secrets from Pete’s time serving in the Vietnam war: secrets that Pete has withheld from him and everyone else for fifty years; secrets that powerful people would prefer to stay buried. Ensnared in a web of betrayals that began a generation before, Xander finds himself on the hitlist of a clinically violent assassin intent on protecting the most potentially destructive ‘sleeper’ mole in the history of espionage.
