Synopsis

A pleasant day cruising on Sydney Harbour as a guest of Mr Graham Lee, the owner of an illegal gambling casino, doesn’t quite go to plan. While preparing his cruiser “Gemini” for the outing, Mr Lee discovers an unwanted intruder who, unwittingly, sets off a murder investigation involving Detective Chief Inspector Simon Webster and Detective Sergeant Noel Elliott. Hounded for results by a newly appointed Superintendent, Michael Hayes, Webster and Elliott pursue their line of enquiries while at the same time endeavoring to maintain a cynical watch on the spiteful domestic events unfolding next door to the Webster residence. Despite assistance from his friend and police informer, Ron Lange, and support from Chief Superintendent Paxton, it is only with the intuition of women’s logic is Webster finally able to solve the riddle of the Anchor Man.

À propos de l'auteur

John Henderson was born in Singleton, New South Wales. The family moved to the town of Yass soon afterwards where he spent his younger days before a further move, this time to Sydney. John went to Manly Boys’ High School, represented the District in cricket and spent time surfing. He joined the Army in 1968 and toured Vietnam in 1969-70. After a brief stint in the Commonwealth Public Service, and with his dry, cynical sense of humour, John chose to write crime satire. The Simon Webster Fiascos represent an amusing and skeptical view of life and bureaucratic nonsense, as viewed by the author.
