A Foreign Affair

With sharp satire and fierce feminism, Pamela Burton's years of legal practice are put to devastating use in this interrogation of a murder mystery, and the rollicking incompetence of ASIO super sleuths. The stench of rot from Operation Fishnet and its web of corrupt and greedy men, with an eye to illegal immigration and boatloads of contraband, unravels in a fascinating courtroom drama. A Foreign Affair, with its intricate knowledge of a spy operation in disarray, and the petty foolishness of the men in power, feels like the ultimate Canberra insider's revenge, with a feminist twist in the knife!' - Virginia Haussegger AM Pamela Burton is a Canberra lawyer and writer.
