AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Covert operative Cole Goodwin pulls off the biggest undercover sting in Australia. Now he's on the run in the biggest gig of his life - survival.

'Cole Goodwin spent years undercover, infiltrating the Mafia and putting the Australian Godfather behind bars for twenty years. As his team celebrate the "guilty" verdict, the Mafia are rolling out a vendetta, aided by Cole's corrupt boss. The dodgy Inspector Mack has plans for a prosperous retirement in France, and wants Cole out of his life - fast - as well as collecting a million-dollar bonus along the way.

'With his life under threat, Cole blows the dust off his secret identities, kisses his pretty girlfriend goodbye, and jumps planes, trains, ferries and continents, finally arriving in dark, bleak, southern Italy and the heartland of his enemy-the N'Drangheta, who has sent its best hitman to end his run...' (From the publisher's website.)

Notes

Dedication:
Dedicated to the memory of the talented and once powerfully effective National Crime Authority and its many fine investigators, including Geoffrey Bowen. Their impact on 'nationally significant crime' left a lasting impression.

Many hope the more recently formed Australian Crime Commission, now the obvious adversary to Italian organised crime, can replicate the former glory of the NCA in tackling law enforcement's relentless foe, the Mafiosi, before the game is well and truly lost. Forever.
