'Winter 1945. The Second World War is over, but it is a time of armistice, not peace. Austria is grieving its defeat and the loss of a generation of men; it is a land without leaders. To men like Major Mark Hanlon, Occupation Commander of the alpine town of Bad Quellenberg, falls the task of destroying the legacy of the Nazis once and for all.

'When his driver is murdered by an Austrian soldier, Hanlon is determined to bring the man to justice. But investigating the crime proves difficult in a community where nearly everyone has something to hide.'

6 6 y separately published work icon Shares in Murder Judah Waten , Bucharest : Editura pentru Literatură Universală , 1964 Z53084 1957 single work novel crime Shares in Murder (1957) 'was an anti-"crime novel" in which the denouement is the exposure of the detective rather than of the criminal. Although sometimes clumsy, the story's generic reversal is an effective one. The ironic conclusion together with the novel's social realism can be understood in relation to a critique of imported, mainly American "mass culture", including crime thrillers, which was then widely-shared by communists and liberals, in Overland and Meanjin for example.' (David Carter, 'Introduction', Judah Waten : Fiction, Memoir, Criticism (1998): xxvii).
