Meet the Aussie Avengers today in Kangaroo Court, the fast-paced, laugh-out-loud sequel to the #1 Best-Selling dark comedy crime thriller, Justice Machine*.
In Kangaroo Court: Lennie, Joe, and their cockatoo, Rawcus, are touring inside a mountain forest when they discover an abandoned campervan - and a pair of stringless tennis racquets. Who would own such objects, and why?
The deeper into the forest they venture, the more mysterious things they find. They're soon headlong on a mission to save strangers from a terrifying ordeal among the trees.
Meanwhile, their partner in a secret botanical business is abducted, forcing Lennie and Joe to confront demons from their past. Can they save the childlike young man they call The Chemist?
If that's not enough to juggle, their friend Pauline Gerrity rings an alarm from her refuge for abused women and children. Her call leads Lennie and Joe to create a sculpture they title Cocoon of Man and hang anonymously from an inner-city tree. A leading art critic likens their work to the British street artist, Banksy. But when the critic adds that the mysterious tree-hangers must be "borderline psychos", Lennie and Joe aren't sure whether to be flattered or insulted.
--- Artful avengers, dangerous subversives, lovely young men. Lennie, Joe, and Rawcus have heard it all. It's all true. ---
Suburban Sydney electricians by day, they fight crime in the shadows of the city; crime the establishment can't touch, won't touch, or gives a sly nod to.
Lennie calls it re-wiring society. Joe reckons they're simply fixing bad people. Rawcus, who grew up in a pub, just wants a cold beer after a hard day on the power grid.
Now they're wanted for Crimes against Crime.
More Pulp Fiction. Less Jack Reacher. All Sweet Aussie Justice.
"These eccentric inner-city crusaders are a whole new adventure in crime capers and my favourite series of the year so far...quirky and refreshingly wry." Tom Flood, Winner of the Miles Franklin Award, Australia's equivalent of the US Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the UK Booker Prize.
"Redolent of 'Lord Of The Flies' and 'Of Mice And Men'...A post-Zen Batman and Robin...Lennie and Joe, and their pet, Rawcus, configure a doctorate in elegant, fair-minded Gonzo retribution of the order of Pulp Fiction." Clare AK - Writers Vic.
