Nice Try

By Shane Maloney

The Third Murray Whelan Adventure
When Murray Whelan, lovelorn political minder and part-time fitness fanatic, is recruited to massage Australia&#39;s bid for the Olympics he has no idea how tough the going will get.
Not even the sight of the gorgeous Holly Deloite in her taut blue leotard at the City Club can stop him diving head first into trouble. And, when the death of the young Aboriginal athlete Darcy Anderson proves that murder is a contact sport, Murray is soon breaking all the rules.
Mixing it with a savvy black activist, a body-building psychopath and the enigmatic Dr Phillipa Knox, Murray jumps the gun every time.
&#39;One of the most outrageously funny voices in modern detective fiction...Shane Maloney&#39;s prose is more than a &#39;nice try&#39; at combining social and political satire with the conventions of the crime novel. It&#39;s spot on.&#39; Age
