Retired from the Australian Army after fifteen years, mainly on active service with special forces on the front line, Mort's first goal on returning home to Brisbane is to investigate how his wife died in a car accident. The trail leads him through some intriguing industrial espionage cases, and deeper, uncovering both police and political corruption within his home state of Queensland. With no one else to turn to, it is up to he and his colleague 'Pig' to combat this insidious state of affairs, battling not only crooked police and politicians but outlaw Bikie gangs as well. The story combines the topical subjects of hacking, bikie gang power, police and political corruption, all embedded into the unique Queensland political environment. Mort and his colleague use the skills learnt fighting on the front line and beyond, combined with their digital communication (ie hacking!) training and use some pretty 'high technology toys' to good effect providing readers with a stimulating and exciting journey through to a nerve gripping climax. This action thriller is full of intrigue and suspense, readers eager to see where the next page leads. There is a dose of romance for Mort thrown in, the characters are straight forward and down to earth, with touches of Jack Reacher, Jon Resnick and Case Lee all rolled into one with an Australian flavor and location, and of course the Aussie sense of humour!
