12 7 y separately published work icon An Indecent Obsession Colleen McCullough , London : Futura , 1998 Z95298 1981 single work novel

'The Second World War has just ended and Sister Honour Langtree, a caring and conscientious Army nurse, cares for a striking mixture of five battle-broken soldiers being treated in the psychiatric care section of the hospital. To the soldiers, Honour is a precious, adored reminder of the world before war – they are as devoted to her as she is to them.

'Then Seargent Michael Wilson arrives. A damaged and decorated hero, Wilson is a man of secrets and silent pain. Honour finds herself drawn to this tortured man, and discovers a love that will ultimately lead to a violent tragedy.'

1 2 y separately published work icon Danziger's Cut Bill Warnock , London : Futura , 1987 Z80030 1986 single work novel crime

'Best selling crime-fiction author, Jack Danziger, discovers that the film rights for his one highly personal novel, which details his passionate relationship with his beautiful international model ex-lover, Chantal, have been acquired by his deadly enemy, Kurtz, genius movie maker and psychotic. As an act of revenge upon Danziger, whom he hates, Kurtz, who has a Svengali-like hold on the girl, intends to turn the book into the ultimate pornographic fantasy; one that will ruin Chantal's career, and maybe threaten her life. The only way to prevent her destruction by Kurtz and the circus of crazies with whom he surrounds himself is for the soft-living Danziger to take on the tough persona of his own fictional invention, "Lieutenant McKnight', and follow, step by step, the most dangerous plot he has ever written, an obsessive game plan for real-life that takes him in a deadly direction. As the pages roll off his word processor, and as Danziger hardens himself up physically for the desperate things he must do, a complex scam develops that will rock the film industry to its heels and result in a final bloody confrontation with Kurtz.'

'Nine-year old Adam is orphaned when his father is buried during an Australian desert sandstorm. A childhood of roaming the outback with his father's drilling partner instills in him a fierce determination to have a place of his own. In this fast-paced, gripping saga, the reader follows the hard-working Adam and his mates, Jimmy, the practical Aboriginal, and Josef, the impetuous young German immigrant, from the opal mines to the desert. They feint with death in mine disasters, at the hands of Mailey, the revenge-seeking law officer, and in the ravages of flash floods.' (Source: Goodreads website)
