'A Book of Doors' is based upon the student radical and cultural movements at The University of Queensland and inner-city Brisbane in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It frames one young woman's perspective of the Vietnam Moratorium protest, and the dramatic personal consequences that resulted from her involvement in this intense period of revolutionary change. The story recalls the violence of the Springbok Tours, the growing Black Rights movement and the Aquarius Festival at Nimbin in 1973.
Reflections in a Stagnant Pool is not only a deeply ruminative and philosophical examination as well as often humorous Aussie yarn on Queensland’s colourful history, but it is also a poignant and moving personal portrayal of rediscovery, closure, human connection, and enlightenment. Based on the unfinished memoirs of Edward A M Mortensen the story centres on Thursday Island, spanning from his heritage in the early pioneering days of the Torres Strait to his boyhood experiences in WWII and ultimately acceptance as a Cadet Midshipman into the Flinders Naval College in 1948. After his sudden and unexpected death in 1983, his manuscript becomes lost, until it is unearthed by his daughter over 30 years later. He was 47 and she was 47 when it was rediscovered in 2016, the first of many bizarre coincidences she was destined to encounter along the way in a Queensland myth-busting odyssey that would take her from Sydney to the farthest northern reaches of tropical Queensland. This enduring auto-biographical story is like a lapping wave, fluctuating back and forth on a tropical tide of reflections, all converging at its suspenseful conclusion into one human picture that relates to everything and everyone.
The memory of Cloudland at Boyd Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane, Queensland, dredges up wonderful and scintillating images from our past. Who could ever forget Cloudland's beautiful pink dome nestled high against a twinkling and starry sky?
Continuing on from the bestselling true crime stories Three Crooked Kings and Jacks and Jokers, All Fall Down follows Terry Lewis as he becomes police commissioner and the era of corruption at the highest levels of the police and government goes on. As the Queensland police become more connected with their corrupt colleagues in Sydney, the era of heavy drugs and crime also begins. Tony Murphy and Glen Hallahan, two of the original "crooked kings," become more enmeshed with "The Joke" which is run by bagman Jack Herbert. All Fall Down introduces new characters, more extraordinary behavior outside the law by the law, and along the way it charts the meteoric rise of police commissioner Terry Lewis. But with the arrival of the Fitzgerald Inquiry in the late 1980s, many will fall—and it's not always the people who should. Once again award-winning journalist and novelist Matthew Condon has drawn from unprecedented access to Terry Lewis, as well as hundreds of interviews with key players and conspirators to craft the definitive account of the rise—and spectacular fall—of one man, an entire state, and over a generation of corruption.
