**Harrigan Daniel, Lane** - A gritty Australian crime thriller that doesn't mess around with fancy footwork or pretentious prose. This hard-hitting novel follows detective work through Melbourne's underbelly, where moral lines blur faster than a pub crawl on Cup Day. Perfect for readers who love their crime fiction with genuine Aussie grit - think fans of Peter Temple or Garry Disher who want authentic police procedurals without the Hollywood gloss. The story tackles corruption, loyalty, and what happens when good cops work in a system that isn't always good back. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has lived a little (like the best crime novels should) but still packs the same punch. Whether you're into Australian fiction, police procedurals, or just want a bloody good yarn that won't insult your intelligence, this one delivers. **Reader Reviews:** "Finally, a crime novel that feels real instead of trying to be clever every five minutes." "Proper Australian crime writing - no nonsense, just solid storytelling that keeps you hooked."
