A phone message from ex-client Danny McKillop doesn't ring any bells for Jack Irish. Life is hard enough without having to dredge up old problems: His beloved football team continues to lose, the odds on his latest plunge at the track seem far too long, and he's still cooking for one. When Danny turns up dead, Jack is forced to take a walk back into the dark and dangerous past. With suspenseful prose and black humor, Peter Temple builds an unforgettable character in Jack Irish and brings the reader on a journey that is as intelligent as it is exciting. About the author: Born in South Africa, Peter Temple is one of Australia's most acclaimed writers, and has worked as a journalist, magazine editor, and teacher. He is the author of eight novels, four of which have received the Ned Kelly Award for crime fiction. Bad Debts and Black Tide are the introductory titles in his celebrated Jack Irish series.

At the beginning I felt this was a bit formulaic but then I became totally engrossed in the story and and characters and could not put it down until the end. Also, while the plot became a little complex at times it did not dampen my interest and I continued to enjoy it until the last page. Highly recommended.
