June Drummond constructs a taut, suspenseful narrative that uncovers the dark machinery of political violence and state-sanctioned murder, where patriotism is wielded as both a weapon and a shield. With the precision of a master crime writer, Drummond illustrates how power corrupts and how those who pull the strings of government can silence inconvenient truths. The novel presents a damning portrait of complicity and cover-up, arguing that the sins of one nation's political history are disturbingly universal. Fans of Cold War intrigue and conspiracy-driven crime fiction will find this a compelling and thought-provoking read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893807591643,"sku":"2026100006363-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/82e9b033-ae91-4891-8df6-230ae02d5887.png?v=1782040380","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006363-secondhand-the-patriots","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
