Harry Tremayne, a policeman, goes to an isolated valley in the remote Murchison region of Western Australia to find his brother – who vanished a month earlier while investigating the murder of a police detective. Do the gold smugglers at Breakaway House hold the answers to the mystery?<br /> <br />First published as a serial in the Perth Daily News in 1932, the real setting for the book is Mt Magnet, about 150k north of Perth, deep in gold country.<br /> <br /><i>'It is somewhat less intense and less effective than the books in the Bony series, but it is successful as an early effort of Upfield's treatment of the Australian outback.'</i> – Ray Browne, <i>The Spirit of Australia</i>
