Shadow on the Trail

Zane Grey

Sinossi

The whistle of the Texas Pacific express train nerved Wade Holden to dare one more argument against the unplanned holdup and robbery his chief had undertaken. Standing there in the dark night under the trees with the misty rain blowing in his face and the horses restlessly creaking leather, Wade thought swiftly, realizing the peril in speaking ill of men Simm Bell chose as comrades for a job of banditry.
“Listen, Simm,” whispered Wade close to the ear of the lean dark outlaw beside him. “It’s too sudden, this holdup. We’ve got the big bank job all ready.”
“I’ve a hunch,” replied Bell, with the force of one who never brooked opposition. “We’re ridin’ through this country. Bad weather. Passed the towns at night. No one has seen us. Wade, I’ll get you a bunch of money like pickin’ it off bushes.”
“But these two strangers. We don’t know them.”

Outback: The Desmond Bagley...

Michael Davies

A powerful debut novel that continues the legacy of ‘Master of the Genre’ Desmond Bagley with a thriller set in Australia, also appealing to a new generation of readers of who adore Jane Harper and Chris Hammer. 
The Sequel to Desmond Bagley’s DOMINO ISLAND  
Insurance investigator Bill Kemp had never wanted to trek deep into Australia’s remote interior. But when his clients Sophie and Adam Church inherit an abandoned opal mine, triggering some explosive long-lost secrets, they – and Kemp – find themselves facing an unknown enemy even more deadly than the vast, forbidding wilderness of the Outback… 
The Desmond Bagley centenary novel honours the legacy of the bestselling thriller writer with a new adventure featuring Bill Kemp, described by Jeffrey Deaver as ‘part James Bond, part Philip Marlowe, and all hero’. Writer Michael Davies, who completed the first Kemp novel Domino Island for publication nearly 40 years after the author’s death, now weaves an original tale of danger and death under the blistering Australian sun. 
In OUTBACK, Michael Davies masterfully crafts a tale of suspense and action, set against the backdrop of Australia's vast and unforgiving Outback. The inherited opal mine, a ticking time bomb of secrets and dangers, forces the characters into a deadly game of survival. 
For fans of Fleur Mcdonald (Something to Hide), John Le Carré (Call for the Dead), Simon Mason (The Case of the Lonely Accountant), Mick Herron (Slow Horses), and Mike Maden (Clive Cussler’s Ghost Soldier).
