Gallows on the Sand
1956 novel by Morris West
Gallows on the Sand is a 1956 novel by Morris West. It was the first novel he published under his own name.[1] He later claimed it was written in seven days for $250 in order to pay a tax bill after he had had a nervous breakdown. West credited the book as launching his career as a novelist.[2][3] However a later review of the author's career dismissed it as a "potboiler".[4]
It was serialised for radio.[5]
The book was re-released in 1963 as part of Angus and Robertson's Pacific Book series.[6]
