Bad Debts (Jack Irish Series) Peter Temple Unabridged edition

Meet Jack Irish, criminal lawyer, debt collector, football lover, turf watcher, trainee cabinetmaker, and the best Australian crime character we?ve seen in years. When Jack receives a puzzling message from a jailed ex-client, he?s too deep in misery over Fitzroy?s latest loss to take much notice. Next thing Jack knows, the ex-client?s dead and he?s been drawn into a life-threatening investigation involving high-level corruption, dark sexual secrets, shonky property deals, and murder. With hitmen after him, shady ex-policemen at every turn, and the body count rising, Jack needs to find out what?s going on ? and fast. An utterly compelling and topical crime tale, Bad Debts has everything ? humour, action, suspense, and an unforgettable cast of characters. ?One of the world?s most respected literary crime novelists?? ?
