Rum Punch (Elmore Leonard)

Rum Punch

Elmore Leonard

Blurb: Ordell Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell's profits from Freeport to Miami. But the Feds are on to Jackie - and now the ageing, but still hot, flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime 'loose end' that Ordell needs to tie up - permanently. Jackie, however, has other plans. And with the help of Max Cherry - an honest but disgruntled bail bondsman - she could even end up with a serious nest egg in the process.

One in a Hundred - The AFL Centenary Diaries of Gavin Brown, Wayne Carey, James Hird, Glen Jakovich and Tony Modra (Various)

One in a Hundred - The AFL Centenary Diaries of Gavin Brown, Wayne Carey, James Hird, Glen Jakovich and Tony Modra

Various

Blurb: For anyone who's missed the hype, 1996 represents one hundred years of Australian Rules football. In this centenary season, five of the AFL's greatest stars give us a complete and personal record of their very different seasons - Collingwood's Gavin Brown, North Melbourne's Wayne Carey, Essendon's James Hird, West Coast's Glen Jakovich and Adelaide's Tony Modra.

Week by week they take us through the football year, from pre-season training to the Grand Final itself. Along the way we see through their eyes the dramas and controversies, triumphs and disasters that made up football's centenary, from club mergers and devastating injury to winning the AFL's greatest individual honour, the Brownlow Medal, and the ultimate achievement of all, captaining a team to premiership victory. Their views and insights - always forthright, fascinating and often very funny - make One in a Hundred reading for anyone interested in how it feels to play AFL at the highest level.
