AbstractHistoryArchive Description

When Aboriginal Billy Two-Toes finds the opalised bones of a plesiosaurus, his tribe orders him to keep silent, because the remains are sacred. But ruthless American hit-man and former CIA operative Cutler intends to posess Billy's precious find at any price - even murder. Novel set in Coober Pedy opal fields and surrounding area; features several Pitjantjatjara Aboriginal characters.
