1 y separately published work icon Stonefish Charles West , London : The Crime Club , 1990 Z1508576 1990 single work novel crime detective thriller 'The Stonefish is one of the deadliest creatures of the Australian Barrier Reef. Its stillness, its perfect camouflage, its patience and the incredible speed of its killing-strike make it a fearsome predator whose thirteen wickedly sharp spines, packed with poison, can kill a man or drive him mad with pain. A perfect metaphor...for the sinister being behind the illegal drugs trade in Sydney: a creature murderous, greedy - and invisible.' (Source: 1990 edition)

'Professor Belville-Smith had bored university audiences in England with the same lecture for fifty years. Now he was crossing the Australian continent, doing precisely the same. Never before had the reaction been so extreme, however, for shortly after an undistinguished appearance at Drummondale University, the doddering old professor is found brutally murdered.

'As Police Inspector Royle (who has never actually had to solve a crime before) investigates the bizarre behaviour of some worthy locals, a hilarious, highly satirical portait of life down under emerges.'

2 1 y separately published work icon Lady Incognito J. M. Walsh , London : The Crime Club , 1932 Z1280244 1932 single work novel crime detective thriller 'An excellent and thrilling story. It is the tale of the "Fogmen" who work in the fogs of London and by skilful planning manage to evade Scotland Yard for a long time. The love story of Frank Slade and Lady Anne Sanfild runs through it, and Quaile, the Yard Inspector, steadily works his way to a solution of the mystery.'
