Publisher's summary
There's no two ways about Les Norton - the carrot-topped country boy who works as a bouncer at Sydney's top illegal casino. He's tough and he's mean. He's got a granite jaw, fists like hams, and they say the last time he took a tenner from his wallet Henry Lawson blinked at the light. Lethal but loyal, he's always good for a laugh. In this, the third collection of Les Norton adventures, Les gets his boss off the hook. But not without the help of the boy from Binjiwunyawunya. Les then finds himself in a spot of bother in Long Bay Gaol then in a lot more bother on a St. Kilda tram in Melbourne.

Story
Uttered by the abusive father of a nine-year-old girl, that phrase ended Jack’s career as a police negotiator and has been haunting him ever since. Now that he is a struggling private detective, those words return with a vengeance when he inherits a mansion - and some terrifying information. Apparently Jack’s soul was sold at birth, and a devil will come to claim it on his thirty-third birthday just weeks away. It’s a hard pill to swallow, given that Jack doesn’t believe in hell (heaven, either).

Emma has a job in television which is distinctly less glamourous and exciting than it sounds. She's managed to claw her way up the ranks from Tea Maker and Rubbish Collector to Second Assistant Director (heavy on the assistant. Even heavier on the second.). So when she finds she's accidentally very pregnant and at the same time accidentally very sacked (well, less accidentally: she did tell her boss to stick his job up his bum), she knows things are going to have to change.

He provides him with fatherly career advice (always carry a knife, for example) and is determined they should share the joys of pit bulls (fed with lots of Tabasco sauce), Internet porn, and all manner of more serious criminality. Des, on the other hand, desires nothing more than books to read and a girl to love .

Les Norton goes to Melbourne
À bit slow at first but turns out to be à funfilled actionpacked trip to Melbourne. Does not really revolve too much around The Boys.
If you enjoyed other Les Norton adventures, I Am sure you Will like this one too! Sad that The author has passed, I have read most of his books
And would Love to have had The chance to read many more

Enjoyable
What did you like best about this story?
I like the laid back writing style. The stories travel at their own pace.
What does Dino Marnika bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Good ozy accent and a style that is not rushed but still very interesting.
Who was the most memorable character of The Boys from Binjiwunyawunya and why?
Les being the main character still stand out.
Any additional comments?
If you are after a fast moving adventure you may be disappointed BUT with the way that it is written I was not bored at all and really enjoyed the style of writing.
