Australia's favourite independent bookshop

Full of good food, great cars, plenty of laughs and a mystery that will keep you turning pages.

 

Lian Hingee, Readings bookseller

From Ned Kelly Award-shortisted author Fiona Hardy, Old Games is the second book featuring Alice and Teddy, two private investigators whose ride-or-die friendship is far less ambiguous than their relationship to the law. 

When Alice and Teddy are tasked with locating the recently-stolen ashes of a long-dead celebrity tennis player it should be a routine job, but it quickly becomes clear that everyone who knew Perry is keeping secrets.

Perfect for fans of Deadloch and Bad Sisters, Old Games is a witty and off-beat Australian crime story about legacies, loss, and families: those bound to us through blood and those we build ourselves.

We are delighted to have signed copies of Old Games available to buy online and in our shops.

Please note that signed copies are limited.
