About the Book

DIRTY WORK

Detective Pete Young - at twenty-two the youngest detective in South Australian police history. He's lifting the lid on all sorts of DIRTY WORK going on, right under his nose. Headline City. Priest Under Pump - Rock Band on Make - Family Business Hard Hit - Celebrity Chefs on Outer - Writer Grinds Axe - Builders Stir Pot - Pastor's New Take on Old Theme - Murders To Go. A couple of miracles tossed into the mix, then stirred. And that's just the humans. DIRTY WORK: Hard-boiled detective parody, dishing out the facts of life, shithouse though most of them are. Like it or lump it. Whatever you happen to be.
