Twelve Miles from Alice

"There is increasing and profoundly disturbing evidence that foreign espionage and intelligence activities are being practised in Australia on a wide scale".
E. Gough Whitlam, 4 May 1977

What would you do if you found yourself in the middle of a high-stakes game of political double-dealing by America and Britain? Geoffrey Palmer is a rookie CIA agent, working undercover as a Fulbright scholar within the highest levels of the Australian government. Palmer thought he was operating to advance America's future until the moment he makes a shocking discovery that leads him to question everything he believes. Now his fate lay in the hands of an old and wily Russian agent. Inspired by real events in 1970s Australia, Twelve Miles from Alice brings readers deep into a world of treachery and betrayal, moving them from the halls of parliament to the remote Australian Outback.
