Tim Ayliffe:
The Enemy Within
Tim Ayliffe’s new thriller The Enemy Within takes us inside the Australia we think we know. In the words of Stan Grant, ‘As a correspondent, I lived this world. Tim Ayliffe has written it.’
Investigative journalist John Bailey is back, this time trying to find out about a spate of deadly racist attacks on the streets of Sydney. Two packs of all Tim’s books will go to those who ask the two best questions on the night thanks to Simon and Schuster.
Former war correspondent John Bailey is turning his life around after a tragedy with a new job and no booze but one thing hasn’t changed. He will still risk everything to get to the truth. When the body of a man he’s interviewed falls out of the sky, one of his key sources washes up dead on a beach and the Federal Police raid his home, he knows he’s on the right track. Someone is trying to stop Bailey exposing the rise of a global white supremacist group and involved in deadly racist attacks on Sydney’s streets. Will he get to them before they silence him?
