About the Author

This is the third of several novella-length books featuring John Order, a politician in the ACT Legislative Assembly (see Order and the Suspect Suicide and Order and Mrs. Cohen’s Conviction). The novels are sequential but stand alone. They are not tales of international or national danger, spies and traitors but rather about a humble backbencher who manages to attract bodies both dead and alive while simultaneously fighting off attempts to end his own (political) life.

The author was a member of Canberra’s Legislative Assembly for 12 years (Speaker for six years) and has lived in Canberra since 1966. He writes the occasional article and letter to the editor for the local press and is an obsessive overseas traveller. Awarded AM (2008). Married, two stepdaughters.
