No Honour Among Thieves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798281235488)

Corrupt former New South Wales Detective Sergeant Craig "Johnno" Johnson and his shady associates-career criminal Steve Forbes, ex-navy clearance diver David Lewis, and ex-Turkish intelligence operative Oktay Saglam-spend a boozy Sunday Arvo in Mona Vale, Sydney, talking history, crime, and conspiracy. As the group sinks deeper into their drug and alcohol-fuelled banter, Lewis shares an intriguing theory about the mysterious disappearance of French explorer La Perouse and his two ships in 1788. The book he's reading suggests that the English, possibly aided by trusted convicts, killed La Perouse and covered up the truth to prevent the French from taking over the new colony.

What follows is a thrilling tale of speculation, intrigue, and high-stakes skulduggery in early Australia. As the conversation twists, one of the men is drawn into a slippery, morally grey world where the possibility of a second French invasion mixes with dangerous criminal schemes and betrayals, rivalling the notorious New South Wales Rum Corps. Packed with action and intrigue, No Honour Among Thieves takes readers on a ride through an era of swashbuckling adventurers, and plenty of risks both in and out of the bedroom. Not for the faint of heart!
