Robert Mitchell spent his early years in Melbourne, Australia where he graduated from Melbourne University with degrees in Law and Arts. Moving to Suva, Fiji, in 1969, he spent the next twelve years practising law, with a mid-term break of two years when he and his wife, May, acquired a one-third interest in a marine salvage company. Robert acted as company manager, diver, and assistant salvage master in a number of marine salvages in the South Pacific. The experience he gained during those two years has been used to great advantage in several of his novels. In 1981 he returned to Australia and continued practising law. In 1988 his novel The Lucinda Legacy was a prize-winner in the Australia-wide Bicentennial Novel Competition. In 2000, he and his family moved to Brisbane, where he retired. In 2003, he and May ventured to China, where they taught English to high school and college students for two years. They travelled extensively throughout China during this time, their experiences reflected in his two latest novels. Robert now spends his time writing – for the pleasure it gives to others.

The storey is based on some real historical figures but set in the recent past. Character development is good with some interesting characters. The setting around Fiji is authentic and the author has spent time in the area so the small details feel correct.

Raised in Tucson, I have learned a lot about boats and sailing. The characters are well described. I felt I knew them well. Couldn't wait to find out if there was a treasure.

The Stone Dog is a rollicking story revolving around the search for alleged sunken treasure in the vicinity of the isles of Fiji. The author shares his knowledge of deep sea diving and the Fijian population which is of great added interest. Suspenseful events abound; including murders and battling the elements. A great holiday read

Now that I have read Mr Mitchell's bio, I understand why he is able to describe diving and the operation of a boat so well! This is a fast moving tale set in an exotic location we would all like to visit.
