On 4 March, 2009, Down Under will host the official launch of Hunter, the latest book by Australian author and Hamburg resident Campbell Jefferys. The launch will include a reading and book signing and offer guests the chance to meet the author.
About the book:
Did the Australian government really bring known Nazi party members to Australia and protected them until their deaths? Having survived the horrors of the Eastern Front, Peter Fischer leaves post-war Germany behind and moves to Australia. 40 years later, Eric Messer is struggling to find his place at a new high school south of Perth. The two meet just before the Gulf War, sparking a strange friendship tainted by mistrust and half-truths, and complicated by a mysterious and overly friendly Austrian named Baum. Of Germany descent himself, Eric becomes fascinated by the men and the stories they tell. Are they possibly wanted Nazi war criminals?

Campbell Jefferys is an author and journalist from (near) Perth. He is the author of two books, Hunter (2009) and The Bicycle Teacher (2006). He also worked on three titles for Rough Guides while his journalism work has been published in magazines and newspapers around the world.
