Sinopsis

Meet Billy Glasheen, a fresh voice in crime fiction. Its Sydney, the 1950s, and Billys trying to make a living, any way he can. Luckily, hes a likeable guy, with a gift for masterminding elaborate scenarios?whether its a gambling scam, transporting a fortune in stolen jewels, or keeping the wheels greased during a hair-raising tour by Little Richard and his rock ?n roll entourage.

But trouble follows close behind?because Billys schemes always seem to interfere with the plans of Sydneys big players, an unholy trinity of crooks, bent cops, and politicians on the make. Suddenly hes in the frame for murder, and on the run from the police, wholl happily send him down for it. Billys no sleuth, but theres nowhere to turn for help. To prove it wasnt him, hell have to find the real killer.

Set in Sydney in the period following World War II, Doyles novels?featuring the irresistible Billy Glasheen?brilliantly explore the criminal underworld, high-level political corruption, and the postwar explosion of sex, drugs, and rock n roll.
