Help Eddie Salita pop a bent copper named Fishcake Fyshbyrne while you're up there? No worries.

Solve a mystery on Virgin Island with a sweet little girl named Digger? You beauty!

Les Norton, the lovable larrikin from the sunshine state, is back and is heading north, with a little bit of work and a hell of a lot of play in mind. But he had better watch out for hungry sharks and local louts with no manners; and gung-ho federal police with no bloody idea! As the saying goes, he don't go looking for trouble, trouble comes looking for him.

Set in Port Stephens, Robert G. Barrett's latest Les Norton adventure The Wind and the Monkey is a romance as well as an adventure and proves once again Bob's enormous appeal to both men and women readers.
