Don't laugh, this is serious. This time the magician needs to make himself disappear.

Hobart has lost its innocence with the opening of Australia's first legal casino in 1974, and the quota of large swaggering men in dark suits, dark shirts, dark hats and white ties is on the rise.

When two gangsters visit barrister William Clarin, they mistakingly think he's called The Magician because he can make charges go away. But the truth is he's got that nickname because his hobby involves making rabbits vanish!

When things go from bad to worse, he has to leg it, and everything that can go wrong, does go wrong, usually in the most humorous way.

William finds himself out-gunned, out-muscled and out-ranked on the high seas. He really has to pull something special out of his hat this time.

This book was previously published as Scrutiny on the Bounty but it has had a facelift. It is now the first in the Funny Capers DownUnder series but it has a story all of its own.

Find out how the legend of Mad Bill begins!
