'A funny Australian mystery about Adelaide and football and fishing and voodoo and wives.

'When down-at-heel Adelaide private detective Bruce Bilger accepts a curious but seemingly trivial case from a local Australian Rules football club, the Centralian Galahs, he has no inkling of the bizarre and perilous circumstances into which he is about to be plunged.

'Will his survival instinct and street wisdom make up for his lack of social graces, and will his curiosity ultimately kill him or break the case?' (Publication summary)
