Australian author Sulari Gentill concocts a superb blend of historical events and people in her crime fiction series centred around a gentleman artist, Rowland Sinclair, and his bohemian artist cohorts in the first half of the twentieth century. ~ Abbey's Bookshop
It's 1933, and the political landscape of Europe is darkening. Eric Campbell, the man who would be Australia's Fuhrer, is on a fascist tour of the Continent, meeting dictators over cocktails and seeking allegiances in a common cause. Yet the Australian way of life is not undefended. Old enemies have united to undermine Campbell's ambitions. The clandestine armies of the Establishment have once again mobilised to thwart any friendship with the Third Reich. But when their man in Munich is killed, desperate measures are necessary. Now Rowland Sinclair must travel to Germany to defend Australian democracy from the relentless march of Fascism. Amidst the goosestepping euphoria of a rising Nazi movement, Rowland encounters those who will change the course of history. In a world of spies, murderers and despotic madmen, he can trust no one but an artist, a poet and a brazen sculptress.
