AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Stonefish is one of the deadliest creatures of the Australian Barrier Reef. Its stillness, its perfect camouflage, its patience and the incredible speed of its killing-strike make it a fearsome predator whose thirteen wickedly sharp spines, packed with poison, can kill a man or drive him mad with pain. A perfect metaphor...for the sinister being behind the illegal drugs trade in Sydney: a creature murderous, greedy - and invisible.' (Source: 1990 edition)
