Series A Murray Whelan thriller
Murray Whelan thriller
Summary Don't you just hate it when someone tries to kill you and you don't know why? Single father and true believer, Murray Whelan thinks the life of a political operative is complicated enough. His femocrat ex-wife is staking out the moral high ground for a custody battle, and rumors of early elections are starting to fly in the upper echelons of Australia's Labor party. But when a Turk is found flash frozen in a local meat plant - a stiff in the purest sense of the word - Murray cops the assignment to head off possible labor consequences for his boss, Charlene Wills, member of parliament and Minister for Industry. No sooner does he start asking questions than Murray begins to smell something fishy in the meat business. The more he probes, the more things begin to spin totally out of control as he finds himself the object of a campaign of intimidation that includes break-ins, drugs planted under the mattress, and attacks by a killer car. That's when red-hot Ayisha, the Turkish Welfare League's answer to activism, knocks on his door
