When Murray Whelan, lovelorn political minder and part-time fitness fanatic, is recruited to massage Australia's bid for the Olympics, he has no idea how tough the going will get. Not even the sight of the gorgeous Holly Deloite in her taut blue leotard at the City Club can stop him diving head first into trouble.

And, when the death of the young Aboriginal athlete Darcy Anderson proves that murder is a contact sport, Murray is soon breaking all the rules. Mixing it with a savvy black activist, a body-building psychopath, and the enigmatic Dr Phillipa Knox, Murray jumps the gun every time.

Nice Try: A Murray Whelan Thriller by Shane Maloney offers a thrilling ride filled with political intrigue, unexpected alliances, and dangerous encounters. Dive into a world where crimes unfold against a backdrop of competitive sports and high-stakes ambitions.
