"Retirement can be murder!"
"Retirement can be murder! The adventures of a former Sydney detective from 21 Division who, in his prime, collared some of the most murderous criminals in Australian history yet, on retiring to the Gold Coast in Queensland, along with half of the criminal milieu he once pursued, is shot, king-hit, tortured, and thrown from buildings in his relentless pursuit of justice. With his trademark wit, warmth and humour, Matthew Condon takes us on a crazy ride - in boats, kombis, peugeots and window-washing platforms - through art galleries, libraries, swampy islands and caravan parks to illustrate that we are never too old for adventures."

Product description
Review
For those who like a light approach to serious crimes. --Publishers Weekly
Matthew Condon is a writer who confounds expectations. . . . We always knew he was capable of descriptive brilliance, but we discover here that Condon also has a gift for the ingenious put-down. Condon's comic intelligence shines though, placing The Toe Tag Quintet a cut above the average crime novel. --Australian Book Review

This book reads like a fantasy. Each story reads like a fairytale and there is no real character to the story I would not recommend this book to a reader who likes real life police stories

Something different
Reviewed in the United States on 15 February 2013Verified Purchase
I enjoyed the book. Five short stories in the book was a new experience for me. Was a little disappointed with what seeemed to be quick endings to each story, and this is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Would recommend it to friends

Great read, lots of laughs, love the cop who can't quite retire. It doesn't matter that you never discover his name.
