Publisher's summary

2 great books, together as one.

Blockhouse Blues

Two crims. One schoolgirl. Someone's in trouble.

Two dumb, wannabe criminals bite off more than they can chew when they abduct a schoolgirl from a particularly modern, angular suburban house.

In the mould of Elmore Leonard or early Tarantino Blockhouse Blues and the Elmore Beast is a distinctly Australian story about kidnapping, obsession, and architecture.

So, if you enjoy your crime gritty, your humour dark and dry and don't object to a little colourful language, you’ll love Jack Stroke’s debut novel Blockhouse Blues and the Elmore Beast.

SCAM

If you're gonna steal something....

Best to know what you're stealing and who you're stealing from.

When wannabe criminal Jonathan hears about a life-changing amount of unprotected cash just begging to be stolen, the opportunity is too good to pass up. Problem is he can’t do it alone, so he ropes in a couple of low rent potheads, kicking off a whole bunch of trouble.

Can Nuke, a gangster with an explosive temper and marital difficulties, sort out the mess? All while balancing his psychotic bosses, some dodgy cops, his bored wife and of course Jonathan, the man with the plan?

SCAM is an exciting romp full of dumb criminals, harebrained schemes, formidable femme fatales and even a sweet love story, all told with a distinctly Australian sensibility.

You'll love this gritty crime thriller because the twists and turns will keep you guessing (and laughing) until the very last second.

Get it today.

Fun twists and turns

I was looking for a story where the characters didn't take themselves or life too seriously. These books definitely fit the bill. A fun listen. The narrator has a decent Australian accent and the stories had a Pulp Fiction vibe.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
