Publisher's Synopsis
Northern Assignment follows the ongoing adventures of Brian Kelso. With a reputation that succeeds him, this partly retired investigator receives a call from an old mate, Alan Cowden, who wants him to go to Melbourne to investigate the sudden disappearance of a good friend s daughter. Carmelita is a 16 year old who has been brought up by an over-protective mother and a strict father who owns a nightclub. When smooth-talking Tony, a cunning criminal, sweeps her off her feet, she runs away with him. Little does she know that Tony is involved with two marijuana plantations in North Queensland and that he plans to kill her. With the help of an ex-colleague at the Atherton Police, Kelso tracks her down and a dramatic climax plays out where Carmelita leans the hard way that a sex-only relationship is meaningless.
