Beskrivelse
The Case of the Cryptic Spirit is the latest thrilling novel by Doug Moody, Australia's literary master. Blake Winton is a perennial boozer who is haunted by a secret from his past and by the spectacular failure of the Steam Punk religion of which he was a patron. Blake had a lucky escape, too many bible bashers were being thrown into the rat house where they belonged. Will Blake find himself being hoodwinked by a group of loudmouthed Yanks who want him to join their secretive counter-espionage agency? Like the majority of Australian males, he is a bludger and is determined to give them the flick. Why would they want to deal with Australia anyway? The country is known as The Prostitute of the Pacific. Meanwhile a former convict, the ghastly Charlie Boy, and his nemesis, the retired short order cook Andrew Paglia set tongues wagging when they begin coaching a soccer team where the players are all young female delinquents from a local detention centre. But what is the sickening Charlie Boy pumping the impressionable players with? Why is the ghost of a deceased comrade haunting poor old Blake, and will the Purple Angel be capable of freeing him of this unwelcome spirit. Could Blake be due a windfall which will bring him untold riches, and will the soccer team reach the top of the league? All will be revealed in the pages within. Read on and be amazed.
