Alby Murdoch – international photographer and Australian special agent – ducks bullets and bombs from Bondi to Bali and back, as he attempts to unravel a lethal tangle of high-level dodgy dealings. From the moment Alby drops his gun on a St Kilda tram he knows he's in for a bad day. By lunchtime, after his partner Harry is gunned down in a Double Bay coffee shop, Alby realises someone wants him dead too – and they want him dead now. All Alby wants is some pasta, a good bottle of wine, and to know everything about the mysterious Grace Goodluck: long dark hair, legs up to there, and piercing slate-grey eyes – sniper's eyes. Instead, he has to figure out who shot Harry and who wants him dead. And why. Unfortunately, the answer lies over the razor wire and beyond the anti-personnel mines protecting Bitter Springs, a top-secret US military facility deep in the Central Australian desert. Now that can really ruin your day. D.E.D. Dead is the first in Geoffrey McGeachin's Alby Murdoch trilogy, along with Sensitive New Age Spy and Dead & Kicking.
