Grubbe is a detective. They all want the same thing: to live out their lives in leisure. And a water view would be nice. But for Jimmy and Monte to win, Grubbe has to lose. Same goes the other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt begins with a Mexican fable about death and ends in the Western suburbs of Sydney. In between it takes in the public housing on Belvoir Street, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, quinoa, Nazi Germany, Qantas, Coca-Cola, a seventh birthday party, the Surry Hills police, the property market and a body in the harbour. The connective tissue? Cocaine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Betzien's most ambitious play so far, and a brilliant portrait of the Emerald City: familiar, bizarre, glorious and mean. A quintessential Sydney tale about crime, globalisation and the killer desire for a bigger house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Betzien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925005496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925005493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Currency Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.39w x 0.36d","brand":"Angela Betzien","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217209348351,"sku":"9781925005493","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08c7de48-cdb0-4b5b-92c1-4126ab460c9f.jpg?v=1728514575","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mortido-angela-betzien-9781925005493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
