Blood at Yellow Water (31 page)

After battling the Tokyo traffic for two
hours the driver pulled up the van outside an apartment block which
had the Australian flag fluttering on a pole outside the entrance.
They piled out of the van and the driver led the way to the lobby.
Jake used his security key to take the elevator to the penthouse on
the fifth floor. He unlocked the door to the apartment and beckoned
the family to enter while he held the door open. On her way through
Melanie noticed the plaque on the door.

“Hey, the sign says this is the residence of
the Australian Ambassador to Japan?”

Jake just smiled and said “So it does, so it
does.”

AUTHOR’S
NOTE

While this book is a work of fiction, most of the
cities and towns mentioned in the book are real places although
some liberties have been taken with the distances between places.
The Kakadu Land Council, the Binugy people, the Lost Temple and the
Stockmen’s Track are all figments of the author’s imagination.

If you enjoyed reading my first eBook, please take a
