Another Alias is set in the New South Wales outback and Sydney, Australia, between 1919 and 1922. AA is an engaging tale of Chinese opium dens, gold and greed, scams, counter-scams, and blackmail. Catherine Dunn, a young Irish lass, arrives in the fictional mining town of Gunnadoo, discovers her fiancé dead and is left destitute when scammed of her savings. With the aid of a French dictionary, and feisty attitude, Catherine masquerades in the guise of a French Mademoiselle as she seeks retribution. The seven deadly sins are prominent themes as decent men and women wishing to create a future for their families, and the divergent underbelly of shady politicians, rogues, prostitutes and gamblers, make for many humouress but plausible consequences. Reminiscent of Bryce Courtenay's storytelling, Davidson's sweeping novel is attractive to a broad age group of male and female readers alike and will appeal to an international audience. It is a strength and a further appeal of Davidson's storytelling that it is not easy to 'pigeon-hole' his work into one specific genre. This epic novel (130,000 words) is professionally edited and professionally formatted with a 12pt font. Three complimentary chapters of the sequel, Duty by Coercion, are included.
