A new book from local author and ex-cop Bill Robertson - set in Melbourne and Heathcote. The area around Bendigo seems to be becoming crime fiction central in this state.
From the Blurb:
No Witness, No Case is about dirty business and dirty politics, greed, corruption and a callous disregard for the environment, the law and the community. A black waste scam is concealed within a legitimate waste business; the business owner is in league with the Mafia; the owner's son is a corrupt and ruthless politician; and the Russians are trying to muscle their way in and oust the Mafia.
A story of dirty business and dirty politics, of greed, corruption and callous disregard for the environment, the law and the community. A black waste scam is concealed inside a legitimate waste business; the business owner is in league with the Mafia; his son is a dishonest and ruthless politician and the Russians are taking on the Mafia to wrest control of their waste and other scams. Within this toxic milieu a dangerous yet powerful love story triggers witness protection and a major police investigation with national and international implications.
This is a story of greed, crime and injustice, a story reflecting the power of integrity and resilience of love in extreme adversity.
