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 detectiveâ€"loud of mouth and quick to draw his gunâ€"who, in his prime, collared some of the most murderous criminals in Australian history. He retires to the Gold Coastâ€"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 rideâ€"in boats, kombis, peugeots, and window-washing platforms, through art galleries, libraries, swampy islands, and caravan parksâ€"to illustrate that we are never too old for adventures.
