A hard-boiled Australian romp

I didn't think I'd like this book as it is really far out of my genre, but I did enjoy it. I had been told that Australian detective stories were quite different, but worth pursuing. This one was. I understand that this falls somewhere in a series, and I had not met the Norton boys yet, but oh boy! they are something else! There's lots of Australian trivia, and lots of action, as well as blood and guts, but even with all that, the book was hilariously funny! Les Norton is the epitome of laconic, and his brother Murray is a one-man wrecking team. This book deals with diamond smuggling, dirty deeds, and a whole ton of people that live on the wrong side of the law (including Les Norton himself). Good fun.
