'Old Selwyn Dixon has been boring Syd Fish and other regulars at the Acropolis cafe for years with stories about his heyday as a jockey. When he goes missing, nobody notices but Val, the big-hearted waitress at the Kings Cross greasy spoon. Even Selwyn's employer, a social-climbing Sydney trainer, seems oddly uninterested in the little jockey's welfare.' (Publication summary)

'Further adventures of Syd Fish, the Darlinghurst private investigator who first appeared in the author's widely acclaimed 'Shaved Fish'. Story concerns a multi-million dollar investment site, the Sex Workers Union, political corruption and murder. Whilst having a distinctly Australian setting and tone, this novel pays homage to the wit and style of the American Thard-boiled' school of detective writers.' (Publication summary)

Hen Hermanns et. al. )agent with title Fish im Truben ) Zurich : Haffmans , 1994 Z57183 1990 selected work single work short story crime humour 'Who killed Devon Kent, a big-mouthed stripper who'd run out of credit? Who dared kidnap the pornographer's son? Why were Sydney's derros afraid for their lives? Where was Precious Ho, nymphomaniac Little Sister of a Chinese drug queen? It's up to Syd Fish-failed journalist, sacked political minder and fledgling private investigator-to find out. Shaved Fish is a breakneck tour through the Sydney tourists never see. Cynical, street-smart and master of the deadly one-liner, Syd Fish is the most entertaining guide you'll ever meet'. Source: publisher's blurb.
