Bad Debts (TV TI)
Author(s): Peter Temple
Meet Jack Irish, criminal lawyer, debt collector, football lover, turf watcher, trainee cabinetmaker and one of the best crime characters ever created. When Jack receives a puzzling message from a jailed ex-client he's too deep in misery over Fitzroy's latest loss to take much notice. Next thing Jack knows, the ex-client is dead and he's been drawn into a life-threatening investigation involving high-level corruption, dark sexual secrets, shonky property deals and murder. With hitmen after him, shady ex-policemen at every turn and the body count rising, Jack needs to find out what's going on - and fast.
