PI Harry Kenmare returns for a third epic journey of vice, violence, and vengeance, as he pursues his holy grail. He's chasing the ultimate prize in avenging the rape and murder of his little Orla: the evil paedophile ringleader Reggie Wheeler.
The hunt starts with Harry, Trev, and Tanya sweating it out in the jungles of Laos, and going head to head with cops even more corrupt than at home. Their Asian exploits necessitate an urgent departure and they land back in good old hometown Sydney, as sleazy and as crooked as ever. Then big Zanza, big in so many ways, joins the team.
The quest for revenge draws in a panoply of colourful characters: bloodthirsty bikies, corrupt cops and customs officers, a perverted prosecutor, and the Roman Catholic Church with its never-ending cover ups.
Buckle up for a rip-roaring romp awash with brutality, sex, and good old-fashioned street justice. In Harry's world there are no holds barred and sacred cows get butchered and barbecued. You've been warned!
