Norvic Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 "Blood Gold Revenge" by Dave Wright. Set 2012, in NQ OZ a story of gold detecting, murder, drugs the works. A brutal read in paperback at Amazon Worldwide and available on Kindle. Tis a frightening read for us detectorists with a fairly intriguing fast moving story line. For those of you who enjoy such a read, and perhaps snowed in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Are there detectorists in the novel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yes there are gold detector operators in the book. I`ve just finished the book, was a lively read and frightening ie. have you looking over your shoulder next time your detecting. It is a fiction novel, however it appears to be loosely based on a real recent crime in NQ OZ. The trial of two people was last year, they were convicted and are now serving a life sentence. The book is a reminder of the old truism "Gold brings out the best in mans ingenuity, the worst in his nature". I`ve not heard of any other fiction novel that is written about our current electronic gold rush, there are thousands about earlier gold rushes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Sounds interesting. I'll have to do some Australian research to see if I can find the details for what happened to spark the novel, and life sentences to boot! I wonder now if they think it was worth it. Plus, the novel itself may be something to get me through this freeze-up as you've suggested. Update: I found it: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-24/stephen-struber-dianne-wilson-convicted-murder-of-bruce-schuler/6647230 Interesting read! All the best, Lanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Hound Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi guys My friend Dave wrote Blood Gold Revenge It is based on the Palmer river Murder of Bruce Schuler For which Stephen Struber and Dainne Wilson/Struber were convicted of murdering Bruce and sentenced to Life. Tremain was unlucky enough to witness Bruce's Murder and this is what the book is based on. Lucky they didn't see Tremain or the other 2 witnesses or they would have met the same fate as poor Bruce! Dave's publisher went broke so there will be a short delay on printing. Dave is organizing a new publisher now so it will be back on amazon and other booksellers in a week or two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
