POKUD JE NĚKDO JASNĚ VINEN, OBVYKLE TO MÁ DOBRÝ DŮVOD… Když je známý melbournský developer Mickey Franklin zastřelen vlastní pistolí, podezření okamžitě padá na jeho přítelkyni, sochařku Saru Longmoreovou. Motiv pro vraždu? Mickey ji údajně podváděl s její mladší sestrou Sophií. Sařin advokát Drew Greer je ale přesvědčený o její nevinně, a proto se obrátí na svého bývalého kolegu Jacka Irishe, aby případ prošetřil. Jack už dávno ví, že si ho trable umějí najít samy, a brzy zjišťuje, že ani s touhle prací se na tom nic nezmění. Okolnosti Mickeyho smrti totiž nejsou zdaleka tak jednoznačné, jak se tváří policie, a jít proti oficiálnímu vyšetřování znamená pustit se do křížku s mocnými lidmi na obou stranách zákona. Nejrozumnější by bylo celé to odpískat. Jenže to by Jack krásné umělkyni nesměl sám začít propadat… V minulosti už při několika podobných záležitostech málem přišel o krk. Podaří se mu z toho vyjít se zdravou kůží i tentokrát, nebo se jeho „irské“ štěstí konečně vyčerpalo? ____ Podle knih s Jackem Irishem byla natočená brilantní televizní série s Guyem Pearcem v hlavní roli.

DO MELBOURNE PŘICHÁZÍ ZIMA A S NÍ SPIKNUTÍ PŘINÁŠEJÍCÍ SMRT… Zdeptat Jacka Irishe není jen tak. Ale když Melbourne sevře studená vlhká zima, klesá jeho nálada hluboko pod bod mrazu. Proto se zprvu ani příliš nesoustředí na zakázku od svého občasného zaměstnavatele Cyrila Woottona: najít jistého Robbieho Colburna. Věci však naberou na obrátkách, když Jack přijde na to, že zmizelý barman je už zřejmě mrtvý, a také, že jeho skutečným klientem je známý soudce Colin Loder. Toho ani tolik nezajímá sám Robbie jako fotoalbum, které mu ukradl. Fotoalbum, jehož zveřejnění by ukončilo Loderovu skvěle rozjetou kariéru a jímž se ho nyní někdo pokouší vydírat. V tomhle případu nikdo a nic není, jak se na první pohled zdá, a vše se ještě víc zkomplikuje, když na povrch začnou vyplouvat jména úplatných policistů, drsných ranařů i melbournské smetánky. Sebemenší ztráta ostražitosti může mít najednou fatální následky. Dokáže se Jack dobrat pravdy dřív, než ho to bude stát život? ____ Podle knih s Jackem Irishem byla natočená brilantní televizní série s Guyem Pearcem v hlavní roli.
