A Few Right Thinking Men by Sulari Gentill
Wealthy Australian artist Rowland Sinclair enjoys a comfortably bohemian existence which he shares with old allies - a poet, a fellow painter and a brazen sculptress. It's the early 1930s and a great Depression is engulfing the world, spawning misery and discontent. Tensions are mounting as the Far Right makes inroads which threaten national stability. Rowland's comfortable idyll is shattered when a vicious murder exposes a treacherous conspiracy... one which he and his redoubtable colleagues find themselves obliged to investigate. Sulari Gentill expertly weaves real events into her tension-fuelled murder mysteries. Rowland Sinclair and his friends are destined to become long-haul companions for lovers of mystery fiction and world history.
