BAD DEBTS by Peter Temple: When Australian Jack Irishex-lawyer and sometime debt collector, cabinetmaker and barfly gets a desperate message from Danny McKillop, whom he defended years before on a hit-and-run charge "at the beginning of the forgotten zone, the year or so I spent drunk," he takes a while to call him back. When he does, Danny, who was fresh out of prison, is dead. Jack's guilt fuels his search for the truth about Danny's murder.
