Description
When Society throws you to the wolves - who can YOU call? Try the trio from Firefly Electrics! A new breed of Public Protectors...
Artful avengers, dangerous subversives, lovely young men. Lennie and Joe - and their cockatoo, Rawcus - have heard it all. It's all true.
Suburban Sydney electricians by day, they fight crime in the shadows of the city; crime the Establishment can't touch, won't touch, or gives a sly nod to.
Lennie calls it rewiring 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.
Now they're wanted for Crimes against Crime.
"These eccentric inner-city Sydney crusaders are a whole new adventure in crime capers and my favourite series of the year so far...quirky and refreshingly wry." Tom Flood, Winner of the Miles Franklin Award, Australia's equivalent of the US Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the UK Booker Prize.

In Kangaroo Court, Book #2 in the Firefly Electrics Series of dark comedy crime thrillers...
Lennie, Joe, and Rawcus are touring inside a mountain forest when they discover an abandoned campervan – and a pair of stringless tennis racquets. Who would own such objects, and why?
The deeper into the forest they venture, the more mysterious things they find. They're soon headlong on a mission to save strangers from a terrifying ordeal among the trees.
Meanwhile, their partner in a secret botanical business is abducted, forcing Lennie and Joe to confront demons from their past. Can they save the childlike young man they call The Chemist?
If that's not enough to deal with, their friend Pauline Gerrity rings an alarm from her refuge for abused women and children. Her call leads Lennie and Joe to create an animated sculpture they title Cocoon of Man and hang anonymously from an inner-city tree. A leading art critic likens their work to the British street artist, Banksy. But when the critic adds that the mysterious tree-hangers must be "borderline psychos", Lennie and Joe aren't sure whether to be flattered or insulted.

"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 Droic, Goodreads.com
Other readers say...
"These stories hold me spellbound."
"Sharp, new Aussie crime fiction."
"I particularly like the writing style; it's edgy, restless and wanting. For me, the next book cannot come soon enough."
"A revenge caper with humour and attitude."
"An action-packed tale of vigilante justice soaked in black humour and more surprise twists than a slalom course in the Winter Olympics."
