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.
And Rawcus — a pub-raised cockatoo with a stinging turn of phrase and a gift for spotting trouble around the corner.
A wilderness camping trip turns strange when they discover an abandoned campervan deep in the forest — containing stringless tennis racquets.
The deeper they venture among the trees, the more disturbing the clues become.
Soon they are racing to stop a brutal crime unfolding before their eyes.
Meanwhile, their partner in a secret botanical enterprise — the childlike young man they call The Chemist — is abducted, dragging Lennie and Joe into a confrontation with enemies from their past.
And when their friend Pauline Gerrity sends a desperate call from her refuge for abused women and children, Lennie and Joe answer with an act of anonymous justice that leaves Sydney talking — and wondering whether the mysterious actors behind it are heroes…or borderline psychos.
Kangaroo Court is part of the Firefly Electrics series — where each novel can be read as a standalone story.
"These eccentric inner-city Sydney crusaders are a whole new adventure in crime — quirky and refreshingly wry."
