Chrissie Fortescue sat looking at her toes. They were pretty little toes, pink and plump and even. But she was not looking at them in admiration. And indeed this morning they were scarcely as pretty as usual, for they were rapidly becoming blue and crimson, instead of merely pink, and though blue and crimson are charming colours in themselves, they are not seen to advantage on toes. It was wintry weather, as you will already, I daresay, have guessed, and very cold indeed, and as the unpleasant consciousness of this made itself felt more and more plainly, Chrissie's face grew crosser and crosser. "Nurse," she called out, and it was the third or fourth time that she had done so, "Nurse, will you come and put on my stockings? I am getting quite frozen." There was no answer for a moment or two, then Nurse's face appeared at the door leading from, the little girls' room into the large day nursery, where the table was already neatly spread for breakfast and a bright fire blazing.

The "bad boy of Australian crime fiction" himself, A.B. Patterson, adapts Nathan Hill's cult classic independent film, Jasper: The Gloves Are Off, into a wild and raunchy novelization. Jasper is the proverbial private eye looking for that one last gig. When he's hired to track down the daughter of a prostitute, he gets into a world of hurt. The many women he encounters along the way both alleviate and sometimes contribute to that hurt. Compared to a cross between Henry Miller and Ross MacDonald, A.B. Patterson's blue prose will have you laughing and longing for the days when a scoundrel could be a scoundrel without New Puritans jumping down his throat for doing nothing more than living his life and being free
