About this ebook

Max Quill, Officer in Charge and son Max are police officers at Darwin in the Northern Territory, Australia. They both race pigeons as an addictive hobby. Max owns a prawn trawler with Johnny as boat captain and Ben as deckhand, and a crocodile farm for tours, taxidermy, hides for shoes, handbags, and restaurant meat trade.
Max trains his pigeons to fly from his boat laden with gems and drugs in saddles to the mainland. His boat exports precious Australian fauna to his wife's Indonesian family boat at sea. Kangaroo does transport his cargo in their pouches from within the pigeon compound to a safe, so surveillance cannot see his trade. Dressed pigeon squabs carry the drugs and gems within their stuffing to restaurants for resale.
Criminals and opposition to his enterprises regularly disappear by drowning, eaten by crocodiles and sharks and Paloma's family transports cadavers to the islands of Komodo where the famed lizards devour their prize.
Darwin jail overflows with those wanting to retaliate against Max. Two new officers arrive to investigate the excessive disappearances of tax officers, miscreants and rebels. Innocence of a crime never guarantees dodging the street sweeper or taken off the menu.

Author

Robert Peterson

The Author grew up in North Queensland in the wettest town in Australia, as oldest of three boys after his elder sister suspiciously drowned in the Babinda Creek. He achieved an Associate Degree in Agriculture at Gatton Campus of Queensland University. Began serious writing on retirement after joining a local writing club and Writing.com. Accomplished writing awards at school and local shows, wrote agricultural extension and research articles, monthly farm memos and local newspapers over 20 years and collection of sensitive security metadata on a diamond mine. Humour arose as positive energy-challenging dimples of 30plus surgical operations over his life. The Author’s written work is Australian fiction reworked from numerous assumed bush homicides garnered while imbibing over a bar, around a campfire or out fishing on the Great Barrier Reef. The Author’s non-fiction life’s work competes as a Guinness Records tag for life’s stuff-ups, such as riding on a large crocodile, bitten by snakes, a giant eel, a stonefish, tiger sharks, gored and kicked by horses and cattle. The Author presently lives in Mandurah, Western Australia with his wife Glenys.
