Synopsis

PI Harry Kenmare loves gorgeous women, fine wine, and Irish whiskey. And he loves to see justice done. He’s old school: results matter, methods don’t, and political correctness can go to hell, along with the corrupt Establishment.

The seven stories collected here have Harry doing what he does best and telling it to you himself, as he goes hard, very hard, at work and at play.

In these PI cases, Harry gets down and dirty across Sydney society, from the supposedly respectable to the openly seedy. He mixes it up with an obscenely colourful cast of characters: bikies, druggies, sensational strippers, corrupt cops, triads, and even a paedophilic politician, to name a few. Harry takes on the city, dishing out his loving, his hatred, and a truckload of brutal karma.

Dark, debauched, and disturbing, Harry Kenmare’s world is a high-octane thrill ride for hard-core crime fiction addicts. But you’ll need to buckle up and bite down. Only readers with cast-iron fortitude need apply!

Goodreads review by Andrew

If a young lady goes missing and foul play is expected, Aussie Private Detective Harry Kenmare can find her. He will almost certainly try to sleep with her as well. The 40’s Phillip Marlowe-style image on the cover of this collection of short stories from author A.B. Patterson doesn’t accurately co......more

Goodreads review by Vern

If you crossed the ghosts of Charles Bukowksi and Mickey Spillane (who disliked each other), then turned the conflicted bastard offspring on its head before shipping it to the land down under to slaughter contemporary sacred cows, you’d have A.B. Patterson’s Harry Kenmare, PI At Your Service. While I......more

Goodreads review by Tia Ja'nae

Harry Kenmare, PI At Your Service has not only earned A.B. Patterson the coveted title of being The OG Bad Boy Of Australian Crime Fiction, but he also has the distinction of Harry Kenmare being the first Pussy Detective on record.
