MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mark Edmonds announces his return to the publishing scene with the release of "Turmoil in Paradise: Trouble Shooter or Hitman" (published by Balboa Press AU), the story of a brutal man with a soft heart and diverse sexual tastes who works behind the scenes to extinguish criminal activities troubling his corporate employer.

The town of Buckleboo Creek in tropical North Queensland was known as a tropical paradise. But engineer Sam Gawler learned from the moment he hit the town's main street that the place had a seedy underbelly. Gawler was nominally a 'Trouble Shooter' for the giant mining corporation which dominated the town. But the unorthodox methods he used to sort out the company's problems were described by some who knew him as those of a 'Hitman.' He was the man the corporation called upon when sticky situations required an unorthodox solution.

The agreement Gawler had with the company guaranteed him that they would always provide all the support and resources he needed. And they expected him to do the job his way. The company wanted results from Gawler, but they did not always want to know the details of how he got them. They understood that he cut corners and pushed boundaries. He was paid handsomely to get the job done.

But Gawler always had no doubt that if he stepped over the line, the company would deny all knowledge of him. He was comforted with the unwritten understanding he had with the company that they would always back him to the hilt behind the scenes. He preferred the anonymity the role offered him. Now, the company needed him at their goldmine in Buckleboo Creek. Gawler had been their first and only choice. He had spent several years travelling to sort out difficult issues at the company's trouble spots in many parts of the world. He had always come up trumps.

"This book was formed from an idea which I hoped would entertain and in some small ways, convey some concepts of modern day attitudes. It will appeal to readers because of its Australian context, human interest, crime, violence, the bad guys lose out the good guys win," Edmonds says.

About the Author
Mark Edmonds was born in Melbourne Australia during tough economic times. His family was isolated because of its unpopular political views. But he deliberately broke out of his family's cult-like and rebellious environment to live a normal life in the wider world. He worked as a taxi driver in Melbourne and as a rookie journalist on a small left-wing newspaper. He was a photographer, bookshop owner, and community radio breakfast program presenter. He ultimately achieved his dream career as a mechanical design engineer, becoming a high-flying engineering project manager. He earned the name "Hitman" for protecting his employer's financial interests against the manipulations of a bullying construction site manager. He lives close to his family in a middle-ring suburb north west of Melbourne.
