My hands were crossed and tied at the front. I moved awkwardly, unnaturally, with them like that. I knew the Italian would have me in the crossed hairs of his sights. And every muscle in my body was waiting for the crack, the thump of the first bullet finding its target.

Essington Holt is out for revenge. The Australian millionaire and sometime art forger has been kidnapped, humiliated, mutilated and exchanged for three million dollars and a valuable painting. Now he wants to bring the criminals to justice - privately.

As a writer and visual artist he has moved between the two mediums for over fifty years, having had thirteen novels published (either in Australia, the UK, and the USA), five under his own name, and eight under the pseudonym – Robert Wallace, and since the early sixties he has had numerous solo exhibitions in Australian capital cities. Including a Survey Exhibition held at the Australian National University in 1980, and another Survey Exhibition touring Australian Regional galleries across Australia between 1990 and 1991. All four of his Essington Holt crime novels will be published in 2022.

Industry Reviews

'The Aussie equivalent of Jonathon Gash's Lovejoy ... I personally prefer the more polished Essington ... I hope he sticks around.' - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

'...the real cachet of these novels is their thrusting style, at once rawly droll and painfully perceptive.' - Stephen Knight, Sydney Morning Herald

'...bouyant and humorous, which makes the violence Essington seems to attract all the more vicious. A marvellous thriller.' - Liverpool Daily Post
