Sex, sport and steroids - an explosive mix.

They called him the Black Prince. Southwestern Uni's top athlete, Clinton seemed to have it all: he was destined for sporting stardom and lucky in love - then it all went terribly wrong.

Now Clinton won't rest until he's avenged his girlfriend's death. He's after the dealer who sold Angie bad steroids and nothing's going to get in his way. Can Cliff Hardy find him before he ends up on a murder charge - or dead? The trail leads the Sydney PI all the way to an Aboriginal community in Far North Queensland and back to the shadowy world of illegal boxing.

Joe Panther is a man with many secrets. Dangerous secrets. He is a drug dealer. He is a killer. He is a private investigator. Above all, he is the Messiah, fallen on hard times.

When a young woman is found crucified and decapitated in a Melbourne inner-city church, the police suspect the local priest, a man with dark secrets of his own. The priest hires Panther to clear his name.

Soon Panther becomes both the hunter and the hunted. Nothing is as it seems - not even, perhaps, Panther's own sense of self.

An Apocryphon is a secret book. The Last Days is Joe Panther's secret book, a gospel noir, a gripping and disturbing tale of death, devilment, dark humour and hard-boiled theology.
