Firefly Electrics Dark Comedy Crime Series - Box Set
(2026)(A book in the Firefly Electrics series)
An omnibus of novels by Mark Furness
Dark comedy crime with bite — and a cockatoo even the villains fear.
Meet Lennie and Joe — suburban electricians by day who fix faults in the justice system at night.
Their wingman is Rawcus — a pub-raised cockatoo with a cutting turn of phrase, a bone-crunching beak, and a gift for spotting trouble around the corner.
In Justice Machine, Lennie and Joe thank their lucky stars when they are fishing at dawn on a city wharf and a small fortune falls from the sky into their laps. They escape without being ID'd, and know exactly how to distribute the windfall. But they've triggered a manhunt that threatens to blow their world apart...
In Kangaroo Court, Lennie, Joe, and Rawcus are touring inside a wilderness forest when they discover an abandoned campervan - containing stringless tennis racquets. The deeper into the forest they venture, the more mysterious things they find. They're soon headlong on a mission to save strangers from a terrifying ordeal among the trees.
In Galaxy Motel, when visitors carrying unusual tools knock on their front door, the trio needs to dance fast to avoid losing life or limb. They enlist the help of a blow-up doll named Mavis, a homemade electric chair, and the Galaxy Motel. Meanwhile, their childhood friend, Pauline Gerrity, needs assistance to deal with a police force psychologist who has a keen eye for underage girls who reside at Pauline's refuge for abused mothers and their children.
Join the electricians who re-wire Society today in this three-book boxset of bestselling dark comedy crime thrillers.
The Firefly Electrics novels are standalone stories that can be read in any order.
"These eccentric inner-city crusaders are a whole new adventure in crime capers - quirky and refreshingly wry." Tom Flood, Winner of the Miles Franklin Award.
"Redolent of Lord Of The Flies and Of Mice And Men...A post-Zen Batman and Robin...Lennie and Joe, and their pet, Rawcus, configure a doctorate in elegant, fair-minded Gonzo retribution of the order of Pulp Fiction..." Clare Allan-Kamil, Writers Victoria.
"I have been reading crime fiction from bestsellers to hidden gems for many years and I have never...NEVER read anything as imaginative and humorous in such a uniquely Australian larrikin voice as Mark Furness' work." Mark Droic, Goodreads.
Genre: Mystery
