Paperback. It takes a lot to rattle Jack Irish but, as Melbourne descends into a cold, wet winter, his mood is on the same trajectory. The woman in Jack's life has reconnected with an old flame. He has gambled and lost massively and seen a champion horse put down. It's not surprising that Jack's mind is not fully on the job he's being paid to do- find Robbie Colburne, occasional barman. But when Jack does get serious, he finds the freelance drink-dispenser is of great interest to some powerful people, people with very bad habits and a distinct lack of respect for the criminal justice system.Any lapse in concentration could prove fatal. The third novel in the iconic Jack Irish series, featuring Australia's favorite crime protagonist. Tie-in jacket featuring Guy Pearce. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
