The Japanese army is rampaging through the islands of the South  Pacific, and Australia's front line of defence is a top-secret, crack  division of men embedded deep in the tropical wilderness of northern  Australia. But something is threatening their vital, covert mission: one  of this elite corps is a murderer, preying on his comrades, one by one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a case too sensitive to be trusted to the police, military  intelligence turn to the one man whose singular combination of abilities  make him capable of infiltrating the clandestine military operation and  rooting out the killer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e William Power goes into deep cover, posing as a cheap, vaudeville  entertainer on tour to relieve the troops. Enlisting the help of his  brother, whose latent skills for female impersonation rise to the  occasion, Will soon finds himself in the far-northern outback trying to  raise the morale of a group of desperate young soldiers lying in wait  for the arrival of Tojo's army - knowing all the while that one of them  is the killer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003ci\u003eAmongst the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e is an intriguing read, not least for the arch humour and tricky way with words.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Sue Turnbull, \u003ci\u003eSydney Morning Herald\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Stunning ... we're already looking forward to the next William Power mystery.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Jeff Glorfeld, \u003ci\u003eThe Age\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A funny and engaging crime novel that distinguishes itself through originality of character and setting rather than body count and gore-factor ... a refreshing read that will disarm even the hardened mystery reader.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Sophie Groom, \u003ci\u003eAustralian Bookseller \u0026amp; Publisher\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Robert Gott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43516767666237,"sku":null,"price":31.34,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781925321074.jpg?v=1787572464","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/amongst-the-dead","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
