Triple-Tap
Ex Detective Chief Inspector 'Sandy' Sanderson may have been gored to death by his own guard dogs, but it was still murder. An unknown marksman, 'The Last Tramp', is compiling a roll call of the dead. Old mysteries and conspiracies have violently resurfaced and threaten former policemen, gangsters and mercenaries, unaware of their part in a history best not told; DI Andy Wallace, a displaced Scotsman of misplaced humour; Edgar Marshall, private soldier, survivor of an Angolan prison from Hell; 'Mad' Lennie Lester, 1960's gangster, torturer, wrongly convicted of the murder of his old Boss, Jack 'Handle' Stein, who's ghost has returned to haunt them. Only the cold-blooded extraction of the 'grisly secrets of gruesome old men' from the Fat American may save them. But a heavy price must be paid as a terrible truth awaits them on a South London sink estate primed to explode with racial tension.

Bloody Jackaroos!
This book will take you on a hair-raising journey from the 1929 to 2005, from horse and carts to helicopters, and across the country from the Conondale Ranges around Kilcoy to Cloncurry and the Kimberley, form Moree to Mt Isa, and from the Murray River through the Channel Country and up to the Barkly Tableland. Along the way you'll find rough horses, plenty of spills, battered vehicles, rum drinkers.
Queensland Lords
Edward and Eliza Lord came to Moreton Bay in 1844, arriving as the remote convict outpost was opened up for free settlement. Members of Lancashire merchant families, they had invested their inheritances in NSW lands and a Sydney merchant firm, just before the drought and crash of 1841. They moved north to rebuild their fortunes, settling at Kangaroo Point before moving to the Darling Downs to start new commercial interests. Although financial success continued to elude them, the Lord family contributed to the settlement of colonial Queensland. Edward and Eliza’s great-great-grand-daughter, Janet Spillman, explores the way Queensland moulded the Lord family’s lives, and the way family members contributed to the colony’s development.

140 All-Time Must-See Movies for Film Lovers Now Available On DVD
John Howard Reid's books are not only noted for the wealth of essential information he provides on each film he discusses, but for the insight and clarity of his reviews. Reid has been reviewing films professionally since 1955, and has contributed an enormous amount of material to newspapers and magazines in England, France, Australia and the USA. In the course of his work, Reid has come into contact with many famous stars and directors, and is often able to provide quotes and information that no other sources can duplicate. As a reviewer for one of Reid's previous books rightly pointed out, "Nobody does it better than John Howard Reid." In fact, Reid often provides far more information than the titles of his books suggest. "140 All-Time Must-See Movies" is a typical case. The book actually provides full details and reviews for 160 feature films plus brief comments on over 30 shorts.
