Harry's World
|
PI Harry Kenmare is a prehistoric private detective in an unfriendly and infinitely unjust modern world.
His life revolves around drinking, fine food, smoking, and fast women, preferably the ones he has to pay for, in cash. So what better CV for trawling through Sydney’s corrupt social and political elites, who cravenly chase power and wealth behind veneers of respectability. In this collection of seedy episodes, Harry is a dinosaur on a mission of justice, looking to shatter the hypocritical façades. And the rules don’t always apply. Join Harry in the jungle of 21st century Port Jackson, where little is as it seems and none of it is pretty. Except, of course, those gorgeous by the hour girls. 
Harry's World won a Bronze Medal in the 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards (in the category of Best Fiction from Australia & New Zealand).
Also named as a Finalist in the 2016 Beverly Hills International Book Awards (in the category of Crime Fiction). The "Outstanding" Mystery (Category Winner) in the 2016 Independent Author Network Book of the Year Awards. Bronze medal in the 2016 Global Ebook Awards (Fiction - Mystery category) Finalist in the 2016 National Indie Excellence Awards (Crime Fiction category)
