About this listen

 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? First published as a serial in the Perth Daily News in 1932, the real setting for Breakaway House is Mt Magnet, about 580km north of Perth, deep in gold country.©1987, 2013 William Upfield (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Historical Fiction Mystery Police Procedural World Literature Fiction
