Lindsay Tanner

Jack van Duyn, 2

Behind the prosperous, genteel landscape of the inner city lies a very different world of hardship and insecurity - where a roof over your head is never guaranteed. Jack van Duyn is a Melbourne taxi-driver in his mid-fifties, living alone in a dingy Brunswick flat. He's settled into a drab existence, with little money, few friends, and no prospects. He's still recovering from weeks of turmoil triggered by his infatuation with beautiful Somali refugee Farhia, and the bitter conflict with drug dealers, spies, and thugs that ensued - as described in Comfort Zone. However, Jack's return to normality is short-lived. He's about to be hurtled into a vicious power struggle involving crooked property developers, angry unionists, and a deranged stalker from his past.
