y separately published work icon Harry's World Ultimo : A. B. Patterson , 2015 8387773 2015 single work novel

'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)
