WHITE MEAT

by Peter Corris (1981)

Private detective Cliff Hardy has a new case. Noni Tarelton has gone missing and her wealthy father wants her found. This sparks a quest throughout the suburbs of Sydney including Balmain, Newtown, Glebe, Redfern, and La Perouse, and ultimately leads back to Noni’s former life in Macleay (Kempsey). Where local police have an unsolved bank job on their books from years ago. As one thing leads to another, Hardy finds himself thrust into the world of the Australian blackfella, and it is through this particular prism that critical elements of this story are refracted. The novel accurately presents the unique culture of Australian racism. Read and see for yourself. Fiction. 205 pages.
