Book Description
Private investigator Jack Stanton has a gambling problem; an ex wife problem and two ex army buddies who want to slit each other’s throat. Adding to his problems we have a preppy corporate lawyer with the best arse in the city and lots of attitude, who hates his guts, but is prepared to set aside her personal feelings towards him because he just might be the only person who can track down her sister’s killer. Sue Barker is the preppy corporate lawyer with the best arse in the city and lots of attitude who, against her better judgement, hires the ageing and despicable Indiana Jones to find her sister’s killer. Heading up the biggest Corporate deal her firm has ever embarked on, her world is spinning out of control thanks to a cheating partner at home and a psychopathic, back-stabbing fellow lawyer at work. The luscious and serially promiscuous Chrissie Barker has been brutally murdered. But who killed her? A drug crazed lover? Someone from her past; a past full of family secrets that sister Sue knows absolutely nothing about? Police Chief, Pete Wallis, thinks a killer with a serious grudge against the City’s banking and financial fraternity is responsible, but that particular dog don’t hunt for Jack Stanton who’s opinion of Pete Wallis is less than endearing.

Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Don’t you just love bankers. They did a pretty good job of blowing up the world in 07/08; a much better job than Al Qaeda and are sure to do one hell of a lot better job with their one quadrillion dollars worth of financial weapons of mass destruction (derivatives) that regulators have failed to control and have allowed them to accumulate since then. There simply isn’t one quadrillion dollars of stuff in the world to hedge. So what the f…..!
Kurt Vonnegut observed in a Playboy interview: ‘People who are sick deserve to be sick. People who are in trouble deserve to be in trouble. Any man who’s on top is there because he’s a superior animal. That’s the social Darwinism of the last century and it continues to boom.’ TBTJ bankers running their TBTF banks might think that they are superior animals when they collect their multi million dollar bonuses at the end of the year, but in reality they are f…. morons who are going to blow us all up.
