It's not every day a bloke stumbles across a dismembered torso on Nobby's beach. Lachie Munro is starting to feel like he's a magnet for trouble. Only the day before he fished a giant haul of heroin out of his favourite abalone poaching spot near Newcastle. There's a better than even chance that the heroin and the torso are connected and he should leave well enough alone. But the opportunity to get ahead of the game is too good to pass up. But how do you sell several kilos of heroin? It's not like drug dealers are listed in the Yellow Pages. And what happens when the owners come looking for their missing package? Is the torso a warning to anyone thinking of crossing them? Now a person of interest to the police, Lachie needs to stay one step ahead of them and a local bikie he's managed to insult, pay off a big time dealer from Sydney, placate the neighbour's labrador, Horace, and win the heart of the gorgeous new Fisheries Officer he's fallen for. If Lachie can pull it all off, he might just get something for nothing . . .
