Behind Covered Windows Peter L Harding

In the 1960's, Beatlemania raged and youth all over the world responded, ending the reign of Elvis Presley and his first wave of raw rock and roll. At the same time, in Australia, out went the British coinage of Pounds, Shillings and Pence - in came the decimalized American dollars and cents. Both events were banner lined as exciting, new and different. But they weren't without problems! While the Beatles were artistically 'copied' spawning a slew of new bands including Delta Connection so too, did the new currency that attracted expert forgers who 'copied' the new notes. Clearly, music and money were - synonymous. Larry Billings, a printer and entrepreneur, indulged his passion and did both extremely well. However, he made mistakes! And his brother, Frank, complicated the issue. Sibling rivalry has never changed. Cooper Coltraine, a Special Agent with the Federal Police was tasked with tracking down illegal counterfeiters, however, calm and casual as his persona projected, he erred and missed clues. His boss, Superintendent Tom Jackson, also his friend, had many questions. Enter - Susan Jacobs, a Senior Investigator for Australia Transport. Very little ever got past her however, her arrival proved both fortuitous and dangerous. Do great minds think alike - do opposites attract...or? Inspired loosely by a true story, Behind Covered Windows has many twists and turns through music and money. Everyone had one mission in mind - to win! Tomorrow, though - who succeeds and who loses?
