A rollicking read - Big John McGraw Former sports journalist and racehorse owner Gary Delaney, the protagonist of Too Hard Wrong Spot and Great Barrier Grief, makes a welcome return, while other somewhat dubious characters - we all know one or two - seemingly jump right off the page in this amusing collection of short stories that take readers from Tasmania to far north Queensland, with stops in The Lone Star State of Texas and the manicured fairways and greens of Augusta National Golf Course, the home of The Masters Tournament. Along the way there are car chases, gambling, fistfights, food fights, dates that go sour, whisky sours, risky racehorses, women with legs as long as the Bruce Highway, more gambling, sex workers, plane crashes, medical procedures, and golf outings on crocodile-free courses.
