Twenty chests of minted Spanish gold in a sunken galleon-this is the lure that brings historian Renn Lundigan to a tiny island off Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Renn enlists islander Johnny Akimoto to teach him scuba diving, but soon realizes there's a far greater danger in the reef than the sharks. Gambling den owner Manny Mannix has followed him to the island, and now he threatens not only Renn and Johnny, but also the beautiful young scientist Pat Mitchell. Gallows on the Sand is a fast-paced story of high adventure, with the rich characterization that made Morris West one of the bestselling writers of his day.     All of our Vintage books are Pre barcode the picture shown is the actual book you will receive. Please be aware that there will be a sticker with an identifying number on the spine of this book.
Description
There are violent events and murders in the history of every country and Ireland is no exception. Through the years, it has had its share of violent murders including the murder of its most famous victim, Ellie Hanley or the 'Colleen Bawn', and the more recent murder of Tom Nevin, victim of a 'hit' organized by his wife. Irish Murders presents a series of murders which have occurred in Ireland in the years from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century acts of insanity, malevolence, hatred, revenge, desperation, greed and passion, when for someone, somewhere, taking the life of another has seemed the only solution.
