Yes!

This strikingly original crime novel opens our eyes to fascinating villainy and mystery on the other side of the world.

It also introduces a classic new investigator, Detective Inspector Frank Heineken, himself a mysterious figure who is also known as 'Pufferfish'.

Prickly, curmudgeonly, brilliant even if irony-charged, he probes gangland violence, outlawed motorcycle gangs, and other dangerous relationships in the paradise island of Tasmania. As he does so he has to make deadly choices.

David Owen's novel is like no other crime tale, and 'Pufferish' is a true original.
