Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Peter Goodfellow (illustrator). 1st Edition. Set in Western Australia in the 1980s, this is a whodunnit with an intriguing social background, one that highlights, even though it doesn't really examine, the issue of race relations. Most of the action takes place in remote locations, giving White an opportunity to paint lyrical descriptions of the Australia outback. At the same time, this is a text of great subtlety that keeps the reader thinking and wondering. The climax is fraught with a kind of tension that, yes, one might find in a good Forsyth. Yet the book never stoops to mere artifice. Each scene, no matter how dramatic, is contributing to the whole, leaving this particular reader immensely satisfied at the end. What a shame Osmar White didn't live long enough to write more in this line. Over the course of a long journalistic career, he did in fact publish numerous books and some of them are very fine indeed, particularly his book on the New Guinea campaign in WWII, "Green Armour," and his graphic reporting on Patton's race through Germany in early 1945, and the aftermath of the war, in "Conqueror's Road." While "Silent Reach" is altogether another kettle of fish, it nevertheless draws on this author's long exposure to what we might call the dark side of life. Seller Inventory # 0721
