SHORT STORIES: FROM A MURDER MYSTERY, TO A MAN WHO NEVER WAS

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ...

Veteran broadcaster Derryn Hinch has written memoirs, novels, and books on Scrabble, politics, love, health and diets. This is his first compendium of short stories. They are fiction, but Hinch calls them ‘faction’ because real experiences from his own life as a police reporter, top-rating radio and TV host, as well as federal senator, weave through the narratives. You may even recognise some of the characters.


- Hardcore journo Jonathan Hunter is coaxed out of retirement to track down a famous US broadcaster who has vanished without trace, and then finds himself having to outsmart a ruthless spy network.
- A crooked senator sees a world that’s there for the taking. Power, women, dirty money. Didn’t factor in one thing: you should never piss off a woman.
- Four friends invent an imaginary friend to help them cheat on their wives. When it stops being fun, what do you do with a man who never existed?
