Deadly Investment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648306818)

At the cutting edge of finance, the language is geek-speak. So when Kantor Keppel, the genius creator of Australia's first mutual fund managed entirely by computers, is bludgeoned to death, his widow engages Melbourne private eyes Gentle & Tusk, dubbed "the egghead and the beefcake." Former actuary Peter Gentle rarely dates, never exercises, and quails before violence. His mantra: data, analysis, conclusions. He partners with Mick Tusk, a formidable ex-cop battling cycles of rage and remorse. With the police baffled by a lack of clues and an array of suspects, with bodies piling up, the duo races through the mean streets and the rarefied world of investment to unmask the killer before they end up as the final victims.

A fraught, intricate murder mystery, Deadly Investment is the first in a classic private-investigator series exploring modern-day money embroiled in crisis. Andres Kabel's three decades of executive thrills and spills in the global finance industry provide endless fodder. A blogger and reviewer, he is all Gentle but in his dreams runs amok in Mick Tusk's shoes.
