Andrew McGahan's long-awaited new novel leaves Gordon of 'Praise' and '1988' behind. But there is still one strong similarity to his previous two books: an extraordinarily powerful character has remained - alcohol.
Set ten years after the Fitzgerald Report in Queensland and revolving around the fallout from the documented police corruption, 'Last Drinks' is fast a moving, shocking and funny crime novel. With a mysterious sense of film noir, great characters and a wonderful sense of place, 'Last Drinks' will satisfy McGahan's current fans as well as winning a new readership.
