White Dog: Jack Irish, Book Four

The fourth and final book in the iconic Jack Irish series, and the winner of the 2003 Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel.
Jack Irish-gambler, cook and cabinetmaker, finder of people who don't want to be found-has a new job, hunting for evidence that might save the beautiful sculptor Sarah Longmore from a murder rap.
Jack soon discovers there was nothing straightforward about property developer Mickey Franklin's death, and falls headlong into a world of shady deals, sexual secrets and country rednecks.
