Synopsis
With his genial air of an Australian innocent, Jacko Emptor is New York's most public trespasser, invading people's homes at random for a live television show. Until he undertakes the televised hunt for a missing woman and, finally, meets a barrier even he will not transgress. The dramatic tale of Jacko's exploits probes the dubious ethics behind some television programmes and illuminates how a civilized society can harbour appalling evil.

Review
A beautiful mad romp of a novel . . . Prepare to be dazzled (Daily Mail)
Keneally has written yet another remarkable book . . . It's also a ripper of a read (Sunday Express)
Jacko gets into some fine scrapes; the descriptions of life on his family's Northern Territory ranch and of Sydney's cultured classes are effortlessly rich; it is fun deciding whether Bickham, the Nobel-winning writer, portrayed with such marvellous subtlety, is "really" Patrick White (Daily Telegraph)
Deftly and entertainingly told (The Times)
