Not much rattles Jack Irish but his mood is on the same trajectory as the cold, wet Melbourne weather.
His love life has just ended, he’s lost massively gambling, seen a champion horse put down but worst of all one of his gambling team has been robbed and brutally beaten.
Jack’s mind is not fully on his job: to find a freelance barman.
When he does get serious he finds, that the barman is of great interest to some powerful people with very bad habits and a distinct lack of respect for the criminal justice system.
Any lapse of concentration could prove fatal.
