The Big Ask Summary

The Big Ask by Shane Maloney

With an election looming, a homicide cop on his heels, adultery in the air and a gun buried in his backyard, political minder and spin-meister Murray Whelan is in for a frenzied few days. Ordered to infiltrate the toughest union in the country, the worlds of politics and crime are about to collide, and Murray Whelan is going to be right at ground zero.

The Big Ask Reviews

One of the most outrageously funny voices in modern detective fiction. * * The Age (Melbourne) * *
I look forward to the next Murray Whelan book with the same anticipation of pleasure that I feel for the new Carl Hiaasen or Elmore Leonard. * * Sydney Morning Herald * *
Murray is a great creation, one that takes the wisecracking cracking wise guy into a whole new realm. * * Houston Chronicle * *
Whelan's wry social commentaries, ironic observations and many failed attempts at getting the girl make him one of Australian crime-fiction's most attractive characters. * * Who Weekly * *
