Synopsis
*Nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Paperback Original*
*Longlished for CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger*
Darren Keefe is in the boot of a car. The gag, the cable ties, the bullet hole in his knee - everything points towards a shallow grave. His story, now unrolling beneath him, starts with a boy wrestling his brother in a suburban backyard - all the fury in his small body poured into the rules of a made-up game. A kid with a pure talent that makes him a sporting star. A young man gorging himself on fame, seasoned with all the usual spices. A bloke who gets away with things, and just keeps getting. Until now...

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A brilliant literary thriller in the tradition of Peter Temple's Truth, from a rising star of Australian fiction.It starts in a suburban backyard with Darren Keefe and his older brother, sons of a fierce and gutsy single mother. The endless glow of summer, the bottomless fury of contest. All the love and hatred in two small bodies poured into the rules of a made-up game.Darren has two big talents: cricket and trouble. No surprise that he becomes an Australian sporting star of the bad-boy variety-one of those men who's always got away with things and just keeps getting.Until the day we meet him, middle aged, in the boot of a car. Gagged, cable-tied, a bullet in his knee. Everything pointing towards a shallow grave. A lawless ride through the life of a famed sportsman. A gripping literary examination of masculinity, celebrity, crime and sport. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
