Amaze Your Friends - Peter Doyle - Bog

Sydney, 1959. Billy Glasheen is flogging mail order schemes from a back room in Chinatown. Hey, it''s a living. But unsettled accounts in his past are coming due. An ultimatum is delivered: come up with a small fortune in hush money, or cop a bullet and a shallow grave. Time to call in all debts and favours, but just when he needs them most, Bill''s old gang of beatniks and bandits have made themselves strangely scarce. Amaze Your Friends is a dark, wild ride through a city of easy money and sudden falls, high times and hangovers, jukebox rock''n''roll and the lowdown flophouse blues.
