Douchards Island

Not all buried treasure is found in a pirates chest... A chill-packed mystery from the master of suspense.

• De Brunes novel Douchards Island was published in 1931.
• Other novels by De Brune were reputedly published in the USA under various pseudonyms, but these have not been traced.
• Aidan De Brune was a Canadian-born writer who settled in Australia.

This is what Aidan de Brune is all about, a complex, old fashioned mystery, with a highly unlikely solution. In the 1920s and 1930s a number of his novels appeared in Australian newspapers as serials, and he also appears to have written serials specifically for publication in newspapers.
