商品簡介
Pitch-perfect dialogue, and a strong sense of place?A very engaging, and extremely realistic debut novel.’?Reviewing The Evidence on Quota
?A story of the love and hate within families, of the failures of masculinity, in a cricket context rendered with technical precision. Brutal, perceptive, uncomfortably funny, occasionally breaking into poetry.’?Geoff Lemon on Rules of Backyard Cricket
A novel of suspense about family, sport, celebrity, rivalry, masculinity and the high price of getting everything you want.
Darren Keefe and his older brother are sons of a fierce and gutsy single mother. Darren has two big talents: cricket and trouble. No surprise that he becomes an Australian sporting star of the bad-boy variety? one of those men who’s always got away with things and just keeps getting.
Until the day we meet him, middle aged, in the boot of a car. Gagged, cable-tied, a bullet in his knee. Everything pointing towards a shallow grave.
Narrated by Darren from the boot of a car on his way to what's sure to be his own murder, this ambitious literary work is impossible to put down. Reads like literary fiction, grips like a thriller.
Jock Serong lives and works on the far southwest coast of Victoria. Formerly a lawyer, he is now a features writer, and editor of Great Ocean Quarterly. His debut, Quota, won the 2015 Ned Kelly Award for Best First Crime Novel.
