A phone message from an ex-client, Danny McKillop, doesn’t ring any bells for Jack .. Life is hard enough without having to dredge up old problems; his beloved football team has moved interstate, the odds on his latest bet at the track seem far too long, and he’s still cooking for one. But then Danny turns up dead and Jack is forced to take a walk back into a dark and dangerous past.
Black Tide - Synopsis
Jack Irish has no shortage of friends, but family members are few and far between. His wife was murdered by an ex-client and his father is a fading photo on the pub’s football ‘wall of fame’. So when Des Connors, the last link to his dad, calls to ask for help in the matter of a missing son, Jack is more than happy to lend a hand. But sometimes prodigal sons go missing for a reason... As Jack begins to dig, he discovers that Gary Connors was a man with something to hide, and his friends are people with yet darker and even more deadly secrets.
