Book details
Overview
You got to bring the bacon home too? It's a pretty dodgy world, friend-o, let's be clear. It'll involve getting the hands a bit dirty, on the odd occasion. Just getting by'll require a corner or two being cut, once in a while. Keeping the home fires burning could mean having to take some poor sod out altogether. Just putting food on the table might entail nicking it in the first place. Furthermore, in order to make ends meet, the truth may warrant, at times, a damn good stretching. Some of this DIRTY WORK will inevitably come to the attention of the cops. Don't worry, that's only natural.

A parish priest under the pump, a band on the make, a celebrity chef on the lam, a family of dedicated recyclers hard at it, a put-upon author with an axe to grind, a disappointed developer on the prowl, a pastor with a new take on an old theme, a lawyer on the case, an elderly aunt off with the fairies, a PA with unfortunate connections, and a miracle or two thrown into the mix. And the youngest detective in South Australian police history on their collective tails. And that's just the humans. There's even more DIRTY WORK going on right under their noses, although they're too busy just getting by to notice. DIRTY WORK is hard-boiled detective parody. A parable in four parts, dishing out the hard facts of life, shit-house though most of them may be. Like it or lump it, whatever you happen to be.
