A suite of novellas starring a detective who, in retirement, gets into more strife than he did in almost 40 years on the force
These are the adventures of a former Sydney detective—loud of mouth and quick to draw his gun—who, in his prime, collared some of the most murderous criminals in Australian history. He retires to the Gold Coast—and yet so does half of the criminal milieu he once pursued. In his relentless post-retirement pursuit of justice, he finds himself shot, knocked out, tortured, and thrown from buildings. With wit, warmth, and humor, readers are taken on a crazy ride—in boats, kombis, peugeots, and window-washing platforms, through art galleries, libraries, swampy islands, and caravan parks—to illustrate that we are never too old for adventures.
