The Unlawful Adventure

How many R S Allersons can there be in Sydney? More to the point, how many gang bosses named R S Allersons?

• It is a highly entertaining little thriller with absorbing interest and complicated plot.

The master mystery-story teller Aidan de Brune presents another breathtaking novel "The Unlawful Adventure", written in 1932. The characters are broadly drawn but vivid, the plot movers along at a breakneck pace, and its rather luridly sensationalistic for its era.

• The book is highly recommended for people who like to treat a mystery story as a solvable riddle.
