Alby Murdoch - international photographer and Australian special agent - ducks bullets and bombs from Bondi to Bali and back, as he attempts to unravel a lethal tangle of high-level dodgy dealings.
From the moment Alby drops his gun on a StKilda tram he knows he's in for a bad day. By lunchtime, after his partner Harry is gunned down in a Double Bay coffee shop, Alby realises someone wants him dead too - and they want him dead now.
All Alby wants is some pasta, a good bottle of wine, and to know everything about the mysterious Grace Goodluck; long dark hair, legs up to there, and piercing slate-grey eyes - sniper's eyes.
Instead he has to figure out who shot Harry and who wants him dead. And why.
Unfortunately the answer lies over the razor wire and beyond the anti-personnel mines protecting Bitter Springs, a top-secret US military facility deep in the Central Australian desert.
Now that can really ruin your day.
