High Noon in Nimbin

What could Les Norton possibly be doing in Nimbin, the hippie capital of Australia? And how did the little green tree-frog in Les's backyard start it all?

Arranging the hit on Fabio was off tap, and Les knew it. And when you get Sydney's deadliest killer to do the hit, there's always a quid pro quo. So Les is off to Nimbin in NSW to help an old army mate of Eddie Salita's open a bar, the Double L. Ranch. Which suited Les since he had to take his friend Tony Nathan, the surf photographer, to the waxhead wedding of the year at Blueys Beach, and it was on the way.

The waxhead wedding of the year turned into the ethnic brawl of the decade. However, Les found comfort in the arms of Janet the Gannet from the Forbidden Planet.

In Nimbin, Les found himself working as a DJ for a nutter with a nightclub where dancing was prohibited. He also found racial tension, the Russian Spetsnaz, and Norwegian backpackers. Add a drug overdose, and before Les knew it, he found himself in a firefight with a bunch of inbreds wanting to kill the bar owner. A fun town Nimbin wasn't.

High Noon in Nimbin by Robert G. Barrett is the latest Les Norton adventure and offers non-stop action from go to whoa.
