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.
