IN THE SHADE
OF THE MOUNTAIN
As the youngest son growing up on a vast South Australian Sheep Station, Andrew Mitchell earns his living by being a gambler, fighter, and conman. He certainly knows that the fastest way to make money is to tell people what they want to hear.
He was often so good at it, he made a living from it, until Andrew enlists for war spread over three fronts. His own personal battles, his confronting creditors and Elizabeth, the one woman he cannot extricate from his soul.
His goal is desertion. Run and join the local Greek resistance movement and vanish from the war without remorse, only there is one small problem… the new price on his head.
SET IN CRETE, 1941, IN THE SHADE OF THE MOUNTAIN IS AN EMOTIONALLY COMPLEX STORY.
