Just when everything was going so good, Les slips a disc in his back. He can't run, he can't train. He can't do anything much. But he can still drive his car. So it's down to Narooma for the South Coast Blues Festival and a bit of R&R: 30 bands and three days and nights of non-stop rock 'n' roll. Which would have been great, only Les has to have a slight altercation with four fishermen on his first night in town. Now the toughest, meanest, most horrible bloke on the south coast is after his blood.Then Les meets Amazing Grace. Add some magic mushrooms, a dancing bear and Jerry Lee Rat. It all makes for an interesting time at the Blues Festival.Robert G. Barrett's latest Les Norton adventure is set in beautiful Narooma on the New South Wales south coast, and is non-stop action spiced with humour, mystery and romance.

They don't call him Lucky Les for nothing. A ticket in a raffle and Norton was off to see to the US of A—Siestasota, Florida, where it turned out hot, red hot, and it wasn't just the weather. Night club brawls, mafia hitmen, too many girls called Lori, gun crazed Americans, and the whole lot washed along in a sea of margaritas. Even for Les Norton it was just too hot to handle. So it was off to "greener" pastures—the Caribbean—for reggae, rum, and Rastafarians, not to mention Sultry Delta, sweet-lipped Esme, and Millwood Downie, schoolteacher, historian, and would-be stand-up comic, who helps Les trace his family tree and possibly uncover the biggest earn ever. The world is finally Norton's oyster. All he has to do is get the shell open.

Arranging the hit on Fabio was a low act, and Les knew it. And when you get Sydney’s deadliest killer to do the hit, there’s always a quid pro quo. In this case, Les had to take a trip to Nimbin in New South Wales to help an old army mate of Eddie Salita’s open a bar, the Double L Ranch.In Nimbin, Les found himself working as a DJ for a nutter with a nightclub where dancing was prohibited. He also found racial tension, the Russian Spetsnaz, and Norwegian backpackers. Add a drug overdose, and before Les knew it, he found himself in a firefight with a bunch of inbreds wanting to kill the bar owner. A fun town Nimbin wasn’t. Not even for a quarter of a million dollars worth of gold.

Norton needed a holiday―anywhere―as long as it was out of Bondi. Price was only too willing to oblige―Les could have his house at Terrigal. All he had to do was look after George Brennan’s nephew for a week while he was there.Jimmy Rosewater was young, cool and the original browneyed handsome man. But, Jimmy was also supposed to be in jail. Before he knows it, Norton is fighting off the usual yobbos looking for trouble and getting shot at by feral bikies… and all the time Les has a feeling Jimmy’s up to something.…
