Book Review

History Mysteries: Diamond Jack
by Mark Greenwood

by Natalie Platten, Jan 2017

History ‘hunter and gatherer’ Mark Greenwood launches his History Mysteries series with a wartime story about a real bloke called Jack Palmer (aka Diamond Jack) and his glittering plunder. This rollicking “fair dinkum” Aussie story packs an adventurous punch, delivering high drama such as: a daring escape; a plane crash on a sandbar; the struggle for survival in crocodile infested swampland; lost treasure; an heroic rescue and so much more!

But if this tale leaves you hankering for more follow up with Greenwood’s The Lost Explorer and crack a baffling cold case from the mid-1800s about explorer Ludwig Leichardt who disappeared without a trace, along with his entire expedition, while attempting to cross Australia from Queensland to West Australia. These are historical adventure reads for the brave-of-heart!
