Sonata for Flute and Electric Drill - John Harrison - Bog

Inspired by the 1989 Fitzgerald Inquiry into police corruption comes a novel about skulduggery, betrayal, and murder.
It's the 1960s, and the illegal drug trade is beginning to blossom in Australia.
Enter Queensland detective Barry McTaggart, a young bloke with integrity ... altogether not welcomed by his immediate superior who's more than a trifle bent.
Sonata for Flute and Electric Drill gives the reader a host of characters: corrupt cops, an aging femme fatale, almost-innocent wives, an everyday hero who plays (you guessed it) the flute, and some interesting folk on the periphery of the mayhem.
