Publisher's Summary
It isn't every day you help murder someone with poison in an illegal casino, whisk his body halfway across town in a Rolls Royce after robbing him, then bury his body in tonnes of concrete underneath an international airport - all more or less with the co-operation of two detectives. Les Norton is back in town!
Trouble seems to follow Les like a blue heeler after a mob of sheep. Maybe it's his job - being a bouncer at the infamous and illegal Kelly Club in Kings Cross isn't exactly the stuff a quiet life is made of. Maybe it's his friends, like Price Galese, the urbane and well-connected owner of the Kelly Club, or Eddie Salita, the hitman who learned to kill in Vietnam, or Reg Campbell, struggling artist and dope dealer. But then again maybe Les is just unlucky....

Great series.
Les Norton is a great series of books but the way Dino Marnika reads them simply tops the lot. the way he is able to do the voices of the different characters is fantastic and really brings the story to life.
I recommend they be read/listened to in chronological order though.

Always a good read
Robert G Barrett always delivers an enjoyable read full of laugh out loud moments and typical Les Norton adventures. If you don’t take yourself to seriously or have a stick lodged up your arse then you will most likely enjoy this book.

Pretty average
Not one of the better Norton books. Becomes boring at stages and has little of the action that you expect from the big red headed Qld'er
