A deadly game of deceit
A fast-paced crime story set in New York against a backdrop of political intrigue.
Palestinian engineer Paul Shehadah comes to America to study and teach at New York City’s Colombia University. There he meets Lucy Donaldson, daughter of Senator Debra Donaldson. As her daughter is drawn closer to the handsome Shehadah, the senator, a supporter of the Palestinian cause, worries he is not what he seems.
Soon after Shehadah’s arrival in America, a bombing takes place at one of New York’s major reservoirs. FBI agent ‘Bec’ Bekele and her partner are sent to investigate and soon start to uncover a deadly web of international intrigue.
Is Shehadah the innocent lecturer of a senator’s daughter? Or is he the biggest threat to New York since September 11?

Water Barons
Money, politics and control of water in Australia
Water Barons is the fascinating tale about the ownership of water in Australia. Since the arrival of the first fleet at Sydney Cove, money has been made from supplying water. Now, anyone can own water, and the buying and selling of water has seen the creation of water barons, private individuals in Australia and overseas investors who own water licences valued at millions of dollars.
With overseas interests holding 10 per cent of water licences in our largest agricultural region, the Murray-Darling Basin, and overseas investors owning Australian water licences valued at many millions of dollars, who is controlling our water?
Water Barons: Money, Politics and Control of Water in Australia speaks to all of us who are interested in our most precious resource.

Young Blood
The story of the family murders
South Australia has an international reputation for being the home of some very strange murders. But during the 1970s, Adelaide was shocked when a series of young men disappeared one by one. Their bodies were found dumped in the countryside outside the city, mutilated and in several cases dismembered. A group of prominent SA judges and businessmen, believed to be gay, were suspected of being involved with the killings and were dubbed ‘The Family’. O’Brien, the detective who investigated the murder of the most high profile of the victims, the son of a pre-eminent TV newsreader, eventually arrested accountant Bevan Von Einem, who is still in gaol for his crimes.
