LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Recruited to head off an Aboriginal protest that threatens Melbourne's Olympic bid, Murray is confident of stitching up a deal with the Kooris in three days tops. But then a steroid-crazed bodybuilder goes on the rampage and a young black athlete is murdered - and soon Murray's investigative instinct is getting as tough a workout as his nicotine patch.
"As hilarious as it is immensely satisfying. I can't think of anyone, from fans of Robert Barrett through to Elmore Leonard, not enjoying this book." HERALD SUN
"Full of deft one-liners . . . Maloney is one of the genre's most gifted writers." WHO WEEKLY
