An Australian political thriller by Peter Corris, one of the foundational figures of Australian crime fiction and creator of the Cliff Hardy detective series. The Azanian Action follows intelligence operative Ray Crawley as he becomes entangled in political violence, espionage, and racial tensions connected to the collapse of apartheid-era South Africa.
Set between Canberra, Sydney, and the Australian south coast, the novel blends spy fiction with contemporary political anxieties of the early 1990s. The story explores intelligence networks, international activism, government secrecy, and the shifting global landscape following Nelson Mandela’s release.
