Inspector Brad Chen isn't the luckiest man in Canberra. He's just returned to work after a hit-and-run that's left him hobbling around on a pair of crutches. He's battling an addiction to painkillers, and he's got one hell of a hangover. And his first callout is to the home of Tracey Dale, Minister for Immigration - where her bloodied corpse sits with a coathanger twisted around its neck.
So, whodunit? Neo-Nazis, ambitious politicians, a vengeful wife - as Chen attempts to track down the Minister's killer, the list of suspects gets longer and more dangerous. And Chen's attractive new offsider, Kate Malone, isn't helping his concentration.
From Canberra to Melbourne and Sydney, Kel Robertson and his anti-hero Brad Chen take us on a wild ride through bars, bedrooms and blood- stained bathrooms, to a crackerjack finale in the bush outside Canberra. This fresh and funny crime novel is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more tales of the limping Inspector Chen.
