Dave Warner

`Double Exxxpresso' is Dave Warner's 14th crime novel, reprising characters from his 5th, `Exxxpresso', about which the Sydney Morning Herald declared `At last a touch of Carl Hiaasen's crazy brilliance in Australia'. When former prison chaplain Father Paul bets the parish funds on a `sure thing' to help upgrade his parish, then gets doubts he's done the right thing, he asks good-hearted former crim Rick Boski for help. Rick only ever an unwitting crim has to call on all the criminal craft at his disposal to save the good father and himself from a vicious crime king-pin, a leviathan bookie, and a zealous detective.

Warner continues to write and record music. Dave Warner is also a screenwriter whose films have starred the likes of Travis Fimmel, Kylie Minogue and Molly Ringwald.
