Galaxy Motel

**Meet the new breed of Public Protectors today in Galaxy Motel, Book 3 in this bestselling series of crime thrillers with a dark comedy twist...

Dark angels, dangerous subversives, lovely young men. Suburban electricians Lennie and Joe, abetted by their sharp-tongued cockatoo Rawcus, have heard it all. It's all true.**

In Galaxy Motel, the team is haunted by underworld rumours that have linked them to a fortune in cash belonging to terrorists.

When visitors wearing hardhats and sunglasses knock on their front door, the trio needs to dance fast to avoid losing life or limb. They enlist the help of a blow-up doll named Mavis, a homemade electric chair, and the Galaxy Motel.

Meanwhile, their childhood friend, Pauline Gerrity, needs assistance to deal with a professional man who has a keen eye for underage girls who reside at Pauline's refuge for abused mothers and their children. They've dubbed the man Mr Teflon for good reason: he's a police force insider with a degree in psychology. Could a fantastic trip to a beach house help to rewire Mr T's soul and make the world safer?

"Crime suspense master Mark Furness finished publishing his trilogy of offbeat comic-noir 'Firefly Electrics' novels with the little cracker 'Galaxy Motel'...I just love this series. " Tom Flood, Winner of the Miles Franklin Award, Australia's equivalent of the US Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the UK Booker Prize.

Electricians by day, at night the Firefly trio fight crime in the shadows of the city; crime the Establishment can't touch - or is part of. Now they are wanted for Crimes against Crime.

Lennie calls it re-wiring society. Joe reckons they're simply fixing bad people. Rawcus, who grew up in a pub, just wants a cold beer after a hard day on the power grid.

The Firefly Electrics Series books can be read stand-alone.

Lennie, Joe, and Rawcus keep learning that the best-laid plans of cockatoos and men often go awry. Lennie is planning a seance to give the Scottish poet Robbie Burns an update on his fabled mice angle...

"Redolent of Lord Of The Flies and Of Mice And Men...A post-Zen Batman and Robin...Lennie and Joe, and their pet, Rawcus, configure a doctorate in elegant, fair-minded Gonzo retribution of the order of Pulp Fiction..." Clare AK, Writers Victoria.

"I have been reading crime fiction from bestsellers to hidden gems for many years and I have never...NEVER read anything as imaginative and humorous in such a uniquely Australian larrikin voice as Mark Furness' work." Mark Doic, Goodreads.com.
