A brilliant new Jack Irish novel from the three-time winner of the Ned Kelly Award for Crime Fiction.
Mickey Frances was funny and clever, but there was always something dangerous about him. Now he's been shot five times and his old girlfriend has been charged with murder.
Jack Irish, lawyer, gambler, cabinet-maker and finder of people who want to stay lost, has to try and save her. He soon realises he has entered a world where evidence can be bought and sold and violent death is a commodity. And just as he's wondering whether to walk away from the whole thing, someone takes the decision out of his hands . . .
