Descended from a family of Queensland pioneers, he runs a newspaper at Airlie Beach. Success and women come his way easily. But that is soon to change. An 1860s incident, in which an Aboriginal woman was killed, has surfaced to haunt the O'Connor family. Tom's ancestor should have been investigated over her death but was saved by his magistrate brother. This dubious act invoked the O'Connor Protocol - a family tradition that obliges an O'Connor to protect his sibling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerations later, land-developer Todd Steele, whose descendant took the blame for the crime, intends squaring the account. Tom O'Connor is alerted to Todd's mission only when drugs appear in the beautiful Whitsundays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdding to the chaos, an Aboriginal tribe inexplicably registers a sacred site on the O'Connor farm. Billy - Tom's Aboriginal colleague at the newspaper - has his own story to tell about drugs and tribal injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on their limited resources, the pair grapple with the threat to their paradise. They uncover more than they bargain for. Will the O'Connor family have to invoke the protocol again?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Burkett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922958182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922958181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sid Harta Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.83d","brand":"Frank Burkett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634376143103,"sku":"9781922958181","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26c71a72-2cb2-44d1-8b1f-f4b093502703.jpg?v=1703588999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-oconnor-protocol-frank-burkett-9781922958181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
