About this ebook
The Fourth Book of the Acclaimed Rowland Sinclair Mysteries It’s 1933, and the political landscape of Europe is darkening. Eric Campbell, the man who would be Australia’s Fuehrer, is on a fascist tour of the continent, meeting dictators over cocktails and seeking allegiances in a common cause. Yet the Australian way of life is not undefended. Old enemies have united to undermine Campbell’s ambitions. The clandestine armies of the Establishment have once again mobilised to thwart any friendship with the Third Reich. But when the establishment’s man in Munich is killed, desperate measures are necessary. Now Rowland Sinclair must travel to Germany to defend Australian democracy from the relentless march of Fascism. Amidst the goosestepping euphoria of a rising Nazi movement, Rowland encounters those who will change the course of history. In a world of spies, murderers and despotic madmen, he can trust no-one but his friends and companions, an artist, a poet and a brazen sculptress. Plots thicken, loyalties are tested and bedfellows become strange indeed.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This title has sat in my TBR shelves for far too long. In it the author cleverly reminds of what is happening in the world in 1933: Germany rapidly heading into fascism; that there are those who would like to see Australia heading the same way. When Rowland Sinclair agrees to go to Germany instead of his brother Wilfred, Rowland's bohemian friends decide to accompany him. And how else to get there quickly other than in Kingsford-Smith's Southern Cross?I loved the way some now famous names came to life in this story including Kingsford-Smith, Eva Braun, Hermann Goering and Nancy Wake, just to name a few.Although the action of the story really is improbable, it makes a captivating tale, and excellent reading.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Miles and his companions are dragooned into going to Nazi Germany to try to stop their own home-grown Aussie fascist leader from gaining any credibility from his association and interaction there.
It's sort of like watching Forest Gump as you bump into famous person after famous person.
Miles and his bohemian friends find themselves in a series of very nasty situations as they try to accomplish the disruption and also investigate the murder of the agent whose place Miles was taking. Pleasant read.
