The Tasmanian Devil A Novella In Stories PDF Download

Inspector Harry Chin was a third generation Chinese born in Australia. His grandfather, Dong Shi Chin, had come over to Australia just after the Second World War and the resumption of the great civil war in China between Mao Tse Tung and Chiang Kai Shek. Australia has never been very homogenous, the Aussies prided themselves on the fact that Australia was a former British Penal Colony, and the descendants had inherited the murderous, pirate spirit of their forebears. I guess you could say that the Aussies were rather particular in their views about who should be allowed to immigrate into their—stolen land. Well, the United States had that same attitude since they stole their land too. Harry Chin had worked his way up the ladder with the Australian Federal Police. No easy task with the all-white force. But the High Commissioner felt with the threat of organized crime—namely the Chinese Triads--that having a Chinese Detective who could actually speak that God awful heathen language might perhaps come in handy down the road. As it turned out, Harry Chin had one of the highest solve rates on the force. The main headquarters for the Australian Federal Police was in the Capital of Canberra, between Sidney and Melbourne. Harry had a partner that he had acquired five years earlier. He also was a rarity on the Federal Police. He was an aboriginal, or better known as a Palawa by the name of Ash Friday. They probably assigned Ash to Harry Chin as a crude racist joke. But the joke was on them, because Ash Friday was not only a damn fine partner and officer—but a great outdoorsman. This first in the Harry Chin Murder Mysteries, takes place on the island of Tasmania. Three, young, junior high school girls have mysteriously disappeared and Harry Chin and Ash Friday are sent from Canberra by their boss to solve the case and save the day and to do it quickly--or else!.
