Stiff

By Shane Maloney

True believer Murray Whelan makes his debut in Shane Maloney&#39;s first thriller set among the ethnic feuds, union machinations and sexual politics of his city&#39;s working class heartland. The fiddle at the Pacific Pastoral meat-packing works was a nice little earner for all concerned until Herb Gardiner reported finding a body in number 3 chiller. <br />Enter Murray Whelan, minder, fixer and general dogsbody for the Minister of Industry. Between playing off party factions and pursuing the kohl-eyed Ayisha, it&#39;s all in a day&#39;s work for Murray to hose down the situation at Pacific Pastoral. Then the lairy V8 turns up. And after that, it gets personal. Because don&#39;t you just hate it when somebody tries to kill you and you don&#39;t know who or why? <br />&#39;Stiff is hilarious - a witty, controversial, intelligent book, both genuinely frightening and genuinely funny.&#39; Herald Sun<br />Shane Maloney is one of Australia&#39;s most popular novelists and a regular contributor to The Monthly.
