AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Done Deal, set in the mean streets of inner-city Richmond, is a gripping little crime story narrated by former English secret service agent Bromo Perkins. Bromo, in exile after a botched operation, is interrupted during coffee in a Bridge Rd café by a blackmailing blonde. It's the start of a bumpy ride extending from the Boulevard in South Yarra to the MCG and a stalled development site very similar to the one at the end of Highett St. Some characters are sketchy but Richmond is lovingly and accurately rendered.' (From a review by Nicole Lindsay in the Books section of the Herald Sun, 23 August 2008. Quoted on the publisher's website.)
