working for aging standover man, Dennis Curry. Curry runs off-site, non-casino poker games, and wants to rob one of his best customers, a high roller called Freddie Gao.

Sophia Lekakis is a highly-strung receptionist at the hotel where Gao stays when he visits Surfers Paradise. Amber, Curry's female housemate, is part of the lure for Gao.

Par Michael Trant. 2023
'Did you have to kill them all?' It's the question Gabe Ahern has been running from since he bust open…
a major criminal operation - and left a dozen men dead. He knows that one day the 'bad guys' will come for revenge. A skilled dog-trapper, Gabe has one rule- leave no sign, leave no trace. And for the last year he's been successfully hiding out on a friend's remote cattle property in the Pilbara. But when Goldmont Station opens its gates to a bunch of city folk eager for an authentic outback experience, Gabe can feel eyes on his back. Are all these visitors really tourists? In the space of 24 hours, the station's helicopter falls from the sky... the phones and internet go down...and one of the guests turns up dead. With major flooding suddenly cutting off all exit roads, Gabe fears he's as trapped as the dogs he hunts. And that his bloody past has finally caught up with him.The Shaman (Victor Cavalier #3)
Par Roland Perry. 2021
Victor Cavalier has received the phone call every parent dreads: his daughter is lying in a coma after a motorcycle…
accident and given little chance of survival. But when a mysterious scientist known as the Shaman intervenes to save his daughter's life, Victor decides he must meet this maverick genius. The Shaman has developed cold-fusion technology that harnesses atomic energy from water. It can be used to replace combustion engines, revolutionising transport and power generation, but also to build terrifying weaponry - making him the target of a ruthless international organisation that will do anything to gain control of this new technology. Now all that stands in their way is Victor - an investigative reporter and undercover operative with lethal skills and a talent for getting to the bottom of the story.The fall between (Detective Rebecca Giles #1)
Par Darcy Tindale. 2023
On a hot November morning, the first body lies in a cattle trough... It will be another two hours before…
rigor mortis sets in. Until then, the slim fingers will float below the water's surface, gently bobbing, beckoning Detective Giles to come and find her. Detective Rebecca Giles has just finished interviewing aging petty criminal Sticky Pete over a spate of break-and-enters when a disturbing new report comes in. Twelve-year-old Kayleen Ellis has vanished from her home in Muswellbrook in the Upper Hunter Valley. Hours later, Giles is a local hero, having apparently solved Kayleen's case and the spate of jewellery thefts. Yet the hangover from her celebrations has barely kicked in when the body of young jillaroo Ava Emmerson is discovered in gruesome circumstances on a nearby farm. Giles is convinced the link between all three cases lies in the town's tragic history, perhaps even in her own mother's mysterious drowning thirty years ago. In a place where nothing much changes, suddenly a great deal is happening -- and Giles's life and career are now on the line.Orphan road (Gary Chance #2)
Par Andrew Nette. 2023
Gary Chance is an ex-Australian army driver and nightclub bouncer turned professional thief and in need of a job. An…
offer comes from a former employer, once notorious Melbourne social identity, now aging owner of a failing S&M club, Vera Leigh. A shadowy real estate developer is trying to squeeze Leigh out of a rapidly gentrifying city. But she has a rescue plan that involves one of Australia's biggest heists, Melbourne's Great Bookie Robbery. On April 21, 1976, a well organised gang stole as much as three million dollars, a fortune at the time, from a Melbourne bookmakers club. The money was never recovered. No one was ever charged. And everyone associated with the crime has since died, either by natural causes or violently. Leigh maintains that money was not the only thing stolen that day. So was a stash of uncut South African diamonds. And she wants Chance's help to retrieve them. Problem is, they are not the only ones looking. The heist always goes wrong and the consequences, even half a century later, can be deadly.
