Synopsis
<p>The first Murray Whelan adventure, with an introduction by Lindsay Tanner.</p> <p>The fiddle at the Pacific Pastoral meat-packing works was a nice little earner for all concerned until Herb Gardiner reported finding a body in number 3 chiller. An accident, of course, but just the excuse a devious political operator might grab to stir up trouble with the unions. </p> <p>Enter Murray Whelan, minder, fixer and general dogsbody for the Minister of Industry. Between playing of party factions and pursuing the kohl-eyed Ayisha, it's all in a day's work for Murray to hose down the situation at Pacific Pastoral. Then the lairy V8 turns up. And after that, it gets personal. </p> <p>Because don't you just hate it when somebody tries to kill you and you don't know who or why? </p> <p><b>Shane Maloney</b> is one of Australia's most popular novelists. His award-winning and much-loved Murray Whelan series has been published around the world. In 1996 <i>The Brush-Off</i> won the Ned Kelly Prize for Crime Fiction. In 2004 <i>Stiff</i> and <i>The Brush-Off</i> were made into telemovies, starring David Wenham as Murray Whelan. In 2009 Shane Maloney was presented with the Crime Writers' Association of Australia Lifetime Achievement Award. </p> <p><b>Lindsay Tanner</b> is a former federal Finance Minister and author of several books who has been a member of the Victorian branch of the Labor Party for over thirty-five years and lived to tell the tale. </p> <p>'Hilarious...witty, controversial, intelligent.' <i>Herald Sun</i> </p> <p>'Fast-paced, fresh, unerringly funny.' <i>Houston Chronicle</i> </p> <p>'Read it, you'll love it.' <i>Courier-Mail</i> </p> <p>'Funny and gripping.' <i>Rolling Stone </i> </p> <p>textclassics.com.au</p>
