More Dirty Work

Autor Brett Sody
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2021
MORE DIRTY WORK Det. Pete Young, at 23 still the youngest detective in South Australian police history, faces his biggest challenge to date. He's about to cop what every dick worth his salt needs - an Arch Nemesis - namely, Chad Oldman - social security recipient, reality TV addict, and cover-band member. He's going to prove to be a tough nut to crack. On the side - a bunch of anonymous texters put the squeeze on a comely continental celebrity chef while a covert surveillance team member cooks up a cool recipe for blackmail. There's MORE DIRTY WORK than ever and as usual - that's just the humans. The hard-boiling continues.

Notă biografică

Detective-Sergeant Eddie Martin, nursing a cappuccino, is getting the lowdown on this Brett Sody character from the squad's number one; Detective Pete Young, who's nursing an organic chai latte with almond milk, extra turmeric and extra ginger. As usual, the lad's been thorough. He takes a big sip of the chai and gets his notebook out.
