The Hunters Steve Challis

The hunters Andy Brown is childishly proud of the section of forest his parents had left him. and they'd put up notices making it clear it was a private animal reserve. The tiny twelve year old is hurt by three hunters as he tries to stop them killing Tasmanian Devils. Andy has been shot in the back and imagines that he is bleeding to death. The hunters are arrested, but claim diplomatic immunity. Andy and Inspector Stratford defy the most powerful men in the country to ensure the bullies don't get away with running roughshod over the laws of Tasmania, and of common decency.
