The fix is in, and the bodies are piling up in Brisbane, Australia, in the shadows of the First Iraq War of 1990-91.

A dead actress, a dead gambler, and that's for starters.

With murder following his every step, determined underachiever Steele Hill struggles through a bog of deceit.

Pulled from his cozy world of the racetrack, the rock-music pub, and his favorite band in the world, the Go-Betweens, everybody the wise-cracking Hill meets is in danger.

One ally is a reclusive teenage maths whiz, channelling Hendrix, and tapping into prohibited military software and magic mushrooms.

Leaping off the shoulders of Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Iraqi Icicle is a weird, wild, and hilarious ride through the murky worlds of gambling, drugs, politics and rock'n'roll.

"Readers will appreciate the author's ability to render colorful characters and understated, witty prose."
