Des also has a son, Gary, and loaned him some sixty grand which Des now needs back to repay the bank for a mortgage Gary took out on the home where Des now lives.
He is good at getting things done "behind the scenes."
Jack Irish is a lawyer who is into horsetrack betting, and woodworking. date unkown. Very good story with tension buildup and then let down with a resolution to most of Jack Irish’s troubles Too disjointed. Pretty much evrything you want from a hard-nosed crime thriller. Jack has a soft spot for old Aussie blokes, especially the denizens of his local pub, die-hard Fitzroy (football club) supporters who regard their team's transformation into the Brisbane Lions as a treacherous but temporary measure. Just confirm how you got your ticket.Fandango The introduction to Black Tide was interesting but there’s some looseness following on from there that could be tightened up so that it doesn’t take half a book to get to the exciting parts. Too confusing. Peter Temple writes a complicated plot, laying out the plot extensively before the action begins and then it is explosive, tense, exciting and fast paced. I can't really seem to get enough books lately. not to mention intrigue, corruption, and violence.Who needs an understandable plot when you can ride along with Jack Irish in his vintage Studebaker, wait with him for Linda to come back into his life, and hope that Cam bails him out of yet another sticky and life-threatening fix? The second book in Peter Temple's Jack Irish series, Black Tide takes us back into a brilliantly evoked world of pubs, racetracks, and sports ? by Lawson Library There seemed to be so many characters and I was confusing them all throughout the different plots - it was like reading a fantasy novel.I don't know if I just wasn't in the headspace for it, or if it was because my brain was all melty because I'm in the middle of a marking jag, but I struggled with this second Jack Irish thriller even though I enjoyed the first.

Irish is really well developed as a character, and the storyline with the power elements of the Establishment conspiring together is great, and all too accurate.Wasn’t really invested in the story or characters other than Des, mate of Jack’s father, looking for his scam artist son.

His wife was murdered by an ex-client and his father is a fading photo on the pubs football wall of fame. It's an offer he soon regrets, as he discovers that prodigal sons often go missing for a reason, and they always have something to hide. Jack Irish—lawyer, gambler, part-time cabinetmaker, finder of missing people—is recovering from a foray into the criminal underworld when he agrees to look for the son of an old workmate of his father’s. When I picked this up I didn't know that it was the second book in a series, so there were things about the past that the author had to reveal here that would have been better to read for myself. He is good at getting things done "behind the scenes." He also works part time as an assistant to an old European cabinetmaker, a craftsman of the old school, and their conversations are delightful.
