'He volunteered for a UN peacekeeping mission, as simple and as dull as assisting in overseeing an election in a politically unstable African nation clawing its way towards democracy. But Greg Lassiter found himself in a world of political skulduggery, violence, death, revolution and the darkest side of humanity.' (Publication summary)

'Shot down over the North African desert, Flight Lieutenant Owen Stanley is repatriated to his home town, Brisbane. It’s 1942 and the Japanese are threatening the Australian mainland. But Stanley has problems closer to home. Amid the friction created by the American presence he has been assigned to find out just why two Australian Servicemen have turned up dead, so far from the front line. Stanley had thought he’d left the bloodshed behind, but his quest for answers will lead him to uncover an audacious Japanese plan and pit him against a group of compatriots bent on treason!'
