Description
Underbelly meets pub trivia along with generous amounts of Shakespeare, Latin, satire and extreme violence involving murder and football training. The Mountain City Murders is a roller-coaster ride of a story involving not just murder in a World Heritage Area but corruption, drugs, misuse of police power, political protest, dissent and how not to run a pub in the small tourist/commuter town of Mountain City. It is set amidst untouched bush and national parks: 200-metre-high cliffs, subtemperate rainforests, mountain valleys, swamp-necked wallabies, copperhead snakes and owls. John Tognolini is a teacher and a longtime socialist activist.
