It is Melbourne 1989. While investigating organised crime, Peter Clancy is caught up in a sinister plot involving drug importation, police corruption, and some very kinky sex.
Along the way, Peter meets a young lawyer and is instantly besotted with her-unlike his friends and colleagues who see something disturbing beneath her wholesome exterior.
Enter the world of the thorny devils-where nothing is as it seems. Thornydevils heralds the much anticipated return of hard-living Melbourne Truth journalist, Peter Clancy.
"Peter Clancy is an amalgam of characters from crime fiction and film noir-a world-weary type" - Sydney Telegraph.
"Very definitely earning a place in the genre of murder-mystery writing" - Blue Wolf Reviews.
