If The Hat Fits, Wear It

The Sequel to The Fifth Estate

Committing hubris of the highest order, author of The Fifth Estate, Terence McLernon again uses his skills and knowledge as a former police officer and private investigator to expose the hi-jinx of low-life business operators. The still-intact police culture by which corruption has become ingrained in our society has permeated all levels of business and politics. Even the excesses and sexual brutalities of a feckless Catholic brotherhood remain unpunished.

Yet it is not without wry humour that Mr McLernon runs his quizzical eye over the cast of characters. The gems of the Fat Wallet Mob meet the light of day. Political ineptitude races neck and neck with judicial blindness and police razzmatazz.

Men in Panama Hats strive to get business moving against otherwise immovable bureaucratic inertia. Ho's go north for a working holiday via special police permits and the barriers to raising a quick $10 million are blasted aside.

Just another day in the life of a gumshoe writer.
