(377 p.)d20 cm  aIt's a decade since the infamous Inquiry into corruption tore the state of Queensland apart. But for George Verney, disgraced journalist and bit-player in the great scandals of his day, the Inquiry has never quite finished. After ten years of self-imposed exile, drawn by the terrible death of a man who was his friend, he reluctantly returns to Brisbane, the city of his downfall. In a town he no longer recognises and through an underworld that has forgotten him, George must seek out the other hidden survivors of his times, to confront the truth about their common past, and to find a way to let the dead rest in peace.

Tough, honest, uncompromising, exciting. From Andrew McGahan, the author of the bestselling 'Praise' and '1988', 'Last Drinks' lives up to the reputation.   a23,95 $au  a899.3  aP  aMcGahanbAndrewf1966-....  aFRbMOc20120723
