Norton and the Case of the Talking Pie Crust

About this book

Yes, Les Norton is back! And so is his best friend Warren with his new girlfriend, Beatrice, a part-time coin collector who Les calls Ugly Betty. Bodine Menjou is an Albanian would-be filmmaker. The film he most wants to make is The Case of the Talking Pie Crust, based on the cartoons of Emile Mercier. So when the script goes missing, Bodine calls in Les to track it down. Set in Bondi and the Central Coast, this is vintage Les Norton giving advice to Bodine on his politically correct film Gone with the Willy Willy, featuring gay Muslims, hunchback lesbians, a Maori suicide bomber and a flagon of Grange Hermitage. Along the way Les encounters an enraged ice addict who will not stay down, a guy with a machine gun, and an exploding building. All the action, all the larrikin humour, all the babes that readers have come to expect from Bob.
