Description
Just before he turns twelve, Tony Jones' picture appears in the West newspaper. It's a close up, showing little drops of water on his face, his hair still wet from the sea and a smile in his eyes. From that day on, his life goes into a spin.
What is happening to Tony?Who is Beady Eyes?Why is the car tailing him?
When Tony is roughed up by Tattoo Boy, after the protest march, he knows he is in big trouble.He and his best friends, Kim, Franka and Ann call themselves the Gang of Four; should he bring them into it?
What follows is more like a detective movie than anything Tony could ever have imagined would happen to him.

Persons
After a short nursing career, Helene married a school teacher and raised a large family, whilst all the time writing 'covertly' as a young mother - short fiction, private journal writing and poetry, honing her craft through TAFE correspondence courses. After studying Education and English and obtaining a degree as a mature student at Edith Cowan University in Bunbury, Western Australia, she wrote her first book; Operation Clancy (1994) was inspired by a wish to produce an 'easy to read' thriller for reluctant older readers. Since then, the sheer joy of invention and a fascination with the writing process has kept Helene in there. An experienced presenter and writer/facilitator in schools, community centres and institutions for adult learners she delights in sharing the writing process with others.
