Publisher's Synopsis
Lure of the Dirty Dollar is set in Sydney in the late 1990s. The background to the story revolves around the Cash In Transit industry, where the main protagonist, David Lewis, ex-Navy clearance diver, nightclub owner, screw and sometime private investigator works on the armoured cars as a casual employee, a cover for his more sinister occupation as a career hit man for a secret government agency. Lewis's next contract kill is an ex Stasi intelligence officer, Rudi Dietrich, who, it has been decided by various governments around the world, must be liquidated as he has been organizing robberies across Europe with gangs of other ex military personnel that have netted millions of dollars in cash, gold and diamonds. The proceeds, it is believed, may be used as a refunding for the once powerful Stasi organization, or helping to finance Rudi's old masters to continue living in the style they had become accustomed to. Dietrich and his live-in lover, Vass Tsanidis, are seduced by Lewis, who gains their confidence through his machinations, getting the pair involved in a plot to rob an armoured vehicle in an effort to make a dirty dollar before Lewis is ready to kill Dietrich. Twist and turns make this story highly possible, with the intrigue and espionage that we find so much a part of normality in these troubled times. It's a fast-paced read of raw talk, sex, drugs and violence, definitely not for the faint hearted or wowser.
