Produktbeschreibung

Journalist Ewen Langtree's random viewing of a family photograph sets off a chain of events that uncover a conspiracy not only involving the Australian superannuation industry but the entire Asian financial system as well.

Set in the aftermath of a second global financial crisis, in Perth, a city sweltering within a heatwave, Ewen's search for the truth plunges him towards imprisonment and financial ruin. Desperate to fend off both, his salvation rests on finding the answer to one questionis Francis Hogmyre, Australia's richest stock trader, just another cog within the global financial machine, or does he belong to a New World Order?

A story based on friendship and fear, City on Fire starts as a slow-burning conspiracy theory that heats up halfway through and races towards a believable surprise ending.

Autorenporträt

Larry Votava is an Australian author who lives in Ocean Grove, a Victorian coastal town.
His second novel, City on Fire, stems from living in Perth, Western Australia, for twenty-two years. Perth, the most isolated capital city in the world, and one of the wealthiest per capita. And with wealth comes corruption, something the author has seen firsthand. Although a work of fiction, the possibility of certain events in the book actually happening does exist.
His first novel, the Mahogany Ship, although fiction, has some truth to it the legend of the Mahogany Ship does exist, fishermen having sighted the boat high and dry on a beach near Port Fairy Victoria in 1836. There were numerous sightings in the years afterward, but eventually, the shipwreck disappeared into the sand or myth. The author, as a child, holidayed with his family for fourteen years at the caravan park at Port Fairy hence the campground setting. Some of the kids' exploits in the novel are based on fact. As a whole though, the novel is a work of fiction.
At the moment, the author is working on his third novel, The Nullarbor, a journey into the broken heart of Australia's outback wilderness; a journey the author has taken many times throughout his thirty-year career in mineral exploration.
As always, the author's love of the ocean manages to sneak its way into each novel.
