'PI Harry Kenmare is a prehistoric private detective in an unfriendly and infinitely unjust modern world.

'His life revolves around drinking, fine food, smoking, and fast women, preferably the ones he has to pay for, in cash. So what better CV for trawling through Sydney’s corrupt social and political elites, who cravenly chase power and wealth behind veneers of respectability.

'In this collection of seedy episodes, Harry is a dinosaur on a mission of justice, looking to shatter the hypocritical façades. And the rules don’t always apply.

'Join Harry in the jungle of 21st century Port Jackson, where little is as it seems and none of it is pretty. Except, of course, those gorgeous by the hour girls.' (Publication summary)

'PI Harry Kenmare is back, with a visceral lust for vengeance.
'Sydney’s elite and powerful are awash in corruption, like rats sunning themselves in an open sewer. And so, in these sordid episodes, Harry’s business is as busy as ever.
'All the better, then, to finance Harry’s quest: the hunting down of the paedophiles who raped and murdered his little Orla.  No qualms, no limits, no rules – just pure bloody revenge.
'And now he has a team.  Join Harry, with his gritty charm and vices, the loyal and dependable Trev, and those smart temptress twins, Tanya and Sasha, as they pursue Harry’s quarry, and deal with demons of their own.
'Hold on tight for another hard-boiled, noir, and very sexy ride!'

'PI Harry Kenmare loves gorgeous women, fine wine, and Irish whiskey. And he loves to see justice done. He’s old school: results matter, methods don’t, and political correctness can go to hell, along with the corrupt Establishment.
 
'The seven stories collected here have Harry doing what he does best and telling it to you himself, as he goes hard, very hard, at work and at play.
 
'In these PI cases, Harry gets down and dirty across Sydney society, from the supposedly respectable to the openly seedy. He mixes it up with an obscenely colourful cast of characters: bikies, druggies, sensational strippers, corrupt cops, triads, and even a paedophilic politician, to name a few. Harry takes on the city, dishing out his loving, his hatred, and a truckload of brutal karma.
 
'Dark, debauched, and disturbing, Harry Kenmare’s world is a high-octane thrill ride for hard-core crime fiction addicts. But you’ll need to buckle up and bite down. Only readers with cast-iron fortitude need apply!'
