John Cunnington’s New Book

Ricochet Editor, John Cunnington’s latest novel, The Thirteenth Secret, has just been released. This work of crime fiction is a thrilling page-turning read from start to finish.

When it came to the extremes of criminal behavior, Senior Probation Office, Sebastian Kuhl had seen it all…. or thought he had. A chance comment by a former client sparks a chain of events that tears his world apart. Nothing can prepare him for the journey ahead. As the carnage mounts, Seb is confronted by the realisation that only a fine line separates good from evil.

For his own survival he is forced to reassess his commitment to the law and draw upon his military training.

John Cunnington’s Thirteenth Secret

This is an enthralling expose of the human spirit and one man’s determination to discover the truth. Set within the Queensland Justice System of the early 1980’s it’s an amalgam of bizarre twists and turns, murder and deceit, sprinkled with Aussie larrikinism.

The Thirteenth Secret would make a great gift. Autographed copies can be purchased from John on 0754933513 or by email on hookin1947@gmail.com

Alternatively books can be ordered through Angus and Robertson, Caloundra or from the publisher www.zeus-publications.com

John’s much acclaimed first novel, The Way The Dice Fall, an account of five conscripts experiences during the Vietnam War era, is also still available for purchase. This novel can be purchased directly from John or through the Zeus Publication’s web site. The Australian War Memorial bookshop also has a few copies in stock.
