Description
Inside Dope is another ingenious, dazzlingly entertaining thriller from New Zealand’s hottest new writer Paul Thomas, author of the highly acclaimed Old School Tie.
Doing time in jail wasn’t all bad for Duane Ricketts. He met some interesting people, brushed up on his Scrabble, and got a lead on the legacy of the notorious Mr Asia syndicate: a treasure trove of high-grade cocaine hidden somewhere in New Zealand.
First he’s got to find it; then he’s got to stay alive, something a few other people are having trouble doing. The thing is, he’s not the only one after it: there’s the redneck from hell; a big-time drug dealer; now even the CIA is getting involved. And trying to make sense of it all are the odd couple of the Auckland police force, Tito Ihaka and Finbar McGrail.
What the critics said about Old School Tie:
“The most explosively funny New Zealand novel yet written.” Tom Scott, Star-Times
“As significant a debut as The Bone People – and with jokes.” Nigel Cox, Listener
“An astonishingly assured performance. I’ve read every New Zealand novel published in the last two years and this is, by a long stretch, better than most. It’s certainly the most entertaining.” Stephen Stratford, Quote Unquote
