The Shadow Crook

Aidan de Brune has been described as the Edgar Wallace of Australia. De Brune was a Canadian-born writer who settled in Australia.

His latest novel, The Shadow Crook, certainly justifies the claim. It is an amazing story of a master criminal who terrorized Sydney, taunted the police, and baffled the finger-print experts.

• Who was he?
• Why did he take the tremendous risk of breaking into police headquarters?
• What connection had he with the death of Stacey Carr, and the disappearance of valuable jewels?
• A very private vengeance stalks Sydneys underground.

The Shadow Crook raided the detective offices in Sydney, bound and gagged the fingerprint expert, and ransacked his records.
