Bloodied, broken, but somehow unbowed, he arrives in a town struggling under war rationing and full of cocky American soldiers, and lands squarely in the bosom of his childhood home in Carlton a home now dominated by his sister-in-law, the odious Darlene. But even Wills contempt is tempered when, in the early hours of the morning, Darlene is kidnapped, and Will finds his mothers kitchen splattered with blood and scattered with broken crockery.Needing to escape the maternal home and the growing police investigation, Power rents a room in the spacious, Parkville home of wealthy, charismatic, and obsessively neat Paul Clutterbuck and is introduced to his strange society of bohemians, black marketeers, and neanderthal henchmen. Will Power is fascinated but, before he can begin to enjoy his new home, a savage murder is discovered. Just when modesty and good sense threaten to intervene, Will realises that only he can solve the murder and the mystery of his kidnapped sister-in-law, and save the nation from impending catastrophe.A Thing of Blood is a brilliant, wry sequel which perfectly recreates the tension and fear of wartime Australia.PRAISE FOR ROBERT GOTTRather than the outlandish though entertaining plot, its the play of these perspectives, the wit and the dissonance between Powers descriptive ability and his self-delusion, that give A Thing of Blood the backbone that keeps you turning the pages There is much about A Thing of Blood to like and little to dislike (except perhaps Power himself). The Sydney Morning HeraldA well-designed conspiracy and a tension-fuelled ending provides a rewarding finale to the story. This is the kind of easy beach read type of story with which it is just a pleasure to stick the brain in neutral, kick back and enjoy.
