Absence of Evidence (2015) By Mick O'Donnell
 
From the Author's Description... This novel was partly inspired by my involvement in the repatriation of the five Australians killed after the Garuda 737 crash at Adisucipto International airport, Yogyakarta airport on 7 March 2007. It is dedicated to the 21 passengers who died in the crash.
 
The Australians killed were diplomat Liz O'Neill, AusAID official Allison Sudradjat, my work colleagues Australian Federal Police officers Brice Steele and Mark Scott, and Australian Financial Review journalist Morgan Mellish.
 
Aspects of the principal characters stories are integrated into the plot of this novel.
 
My late father-in-law, Dick van Arkel (1914-2001), served in Surabaya, Malang and Batavia with the Dutch military police between 1945 and 1950, and my late father, John O’Donnell (1912-1980), served with the Far East Liaison Office [FELO] on Morotai in 1945.
 
Bishop Aloysius (Allo) Morgan AO, RFD, ED (1909-2008) was a good friend of mine in his older years. Relevant to this story, he was a Chaplain with the 2nd Australian Imperial Force in Papua New Guinea from 1942 to 1945. He remained an Army Chaplain until 1981 when he retired as the Army's Chaplain General.
