AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When Sir Frank Mortimer, self-made king of Australia's wealthiest business corporation, is murdered under dramatic and totally mystifying circumstances, his grandson, David, is convinced that the motive lies buried in the past....Centred around three families linked by love, hate, and ambition over three generations, The Silver Kings is a fast-moving and passionate tale of the early pioneering days in Australia.' (Publisher's blurb)..

Notes

  • Author's note: 'Although the situation and history of the city of Mount Argent in this novel is based loosely on that of Broken Hill in New South Wales, I wish to make it clear that any resemblance to any person, living or dead, or to any business or industry connected with Broken Hill, is entirely coincidental and unintentional.

    There is, of course, no such newspaper as the Sydney Evening Chronicle-nor, I trust, will there ever be!'
