"Dr Tony Gray and his attractive wife, Noel, had looked forward to a well-earned holiday. No premonition warned them that Death was to be their constant travelling companion, following them with relentless persistence from busy city to peaceful countryside.

Trouble began in a Melbourne cafe, when Noel impulsively went to the assistance of an appealing young stranger with an embarrassing situation.Those few steps across the cafe floor led Noel out of her normal well-ordered world into the nightmare jungle of the Melbourne underworld, and her spontaneous act of helpfulness earned her the bitter enmity of one of that jungle's denizens.

Bewildered, a trifle alarmed, and more than a trifle annoyed by the unwelcome attentions they had drawn upon themselves, Noel and Tony doggedly tried to enjoy their holiday as planned but found themselves becoming more and more deeply involved in the activities of law breakers on the one hand and the police on the other.

A fascinating Australian setting."
