About this ebook

Sydney, New Year's Day, 1978. While the beaches teem and the cold beers flow, a clandestine syndicate is planning to overthrow the Australian government. They've commissioned dodgy businessman Kerry Rich to detonate a bomb at the Opera House on Anzac Day. He's passed the job on to Pierre Farag, a reluctant British sleeper agent dumped in Australia. But Pierre and his wife Zouzou want out — out of Sydney and out of doing other people's dirty jobs. Meanwhile investigative journalist Liz Lanzoni has got a sniff of the bomb plot and sees the chance to break the story of the decade. As the day of the blast looms the operation unravels, and Pierre, Zouzou, Liz and Kerry find themselves on the run to a hideout in the northern tropics of Queensland. Soaked in the hedonism and corruption of late seventies Sydney, The Sunset Assassin traces the fine line between loyalty and betrayal. The Sunset Assassin is the third novel of the Siranoush Trilogy.

Stuart Campbell

Stuart Campbell began writing fiction in the eighties, but was diverted by the need to earn a living. After exiting the world of academia he restarted his affair with writing fiction in 2011.Stuart's latest novel The True History of Jude is a genre-defying work that blends a dystopian thriller with a coming of age tale and a time-shift love story.His Siranoush Trilogy includes the novels Cairo Mon Amour, Bury me in Valletta, and The Sunset Assassin. The three stories are stand-alone episodes in the tribulations of reluctant British spies Pierre Farag and his wife Zouzou Paris. The couple are exiled from Cairo to London in 1973, and then to Malta in 1975, ending their quest for freedom and anonymity in the northern Australian tropics in 1978.In Stuart's An Englishman's Guide to Infidelity, a respectable Home Counties couple dabble in petty crime as they try to enliven a failing marriage. But a figure from the past tips them into a double murder plot. Could they really be killers?Stuart was formerly a Professor of Linguistics and a Pro Vice Chancellor at Western Sydney University. He has published numerous books, chapters and research articles in the areas of translation studies and Arabic linguistics. Stuart holds the title of Emeritus Professor.Born in London, Stuart has lived in Sydney since the seventies.
