About This Item
Jack Irish has no shortage of friends. Jockeys and journos, lawyers ad standover men, people in nameless occupations who aren't in the phone book. These days, though, the only family he sees are Irish men in faded football team photographs on the pub wall.
So when Des Connors, the last link to his father, calls to ask for help in the matter of a missing son, Jack is happy to lend a hand.
But sometimes prodigal sons go missing for a reason. As Jack begins to dig, he discovers that Gary Connors was a man with something to hide.
And his friends are people with darker, more deadly secrets.
Synopsis
ack Irish is recovering from his last foray into the criminal underworld when he agrees to look for the missing son of Des Connors, the last living link to Jack's father. It's an offer he soon regrets, as he discovers that prodigal sons often go missing for a reason, and they always have something to hide. The second book in Peter Temple's Jack Irish series, Black Tide takes us back into a brilliantly evoked world of pubs, racetracks, and sports-not to mention intrigue, corruption, and violence.
