The Big Ask

By Shane Maloney

The fourth Murray Whelan adventure. 
Murray is in serious trouble. With a disastrous election result looming, his days as a political minder seem numbered. But when his boss Angelo Agnelli picks a fight with the trucking industry and Murray finds himself on the receiving end of a fist at a city nightclub, his employment prospects are the least of his problems. 
And that&#39;s before he finds himself in the back of a truck at the fruit and vegetable market at five in the morning, sampling Heather Maitland&#39;s melons. With a runaway son on his hands, the police at his heels and a gun buried in the backyard, Murray faces his toughest test yet.
&#39;Another triumph for Maloney, who is one of our best and most consistently original crime writers. Highly recommended.&#39; Canberra Times
