Hit and Run

Rick Hartley smokes and drinks and is a high risk-taker. An ex-rugby league player and ex-policeman, he needs all his experience and toughness to make his way as a PI. His latest adventure involves fast cars and dangerous thugs as he pursues a gang stealing luxury cars. He is also attempting to unravel a baffling case involving a missing baby who hasn't been seen for five years. Can Rick bring the car-stealing criminals to justice and survive? Will he find the young child? This book isn't just about criminal investigation, there is romance and sex in it too. Rick describes in detail his love-making with his partner Jennifer, and it's every bit as exciting as the cases he works on. This is a typically Australian private detective drama. It's Hartley's story and he tells it with wry humour and he provides some insights into his sex life. The author, Tony Howells is an up and coming crime-writing talent, known for his DCI Barton crime novels.
