Justice Machine

A Firefly Electrics Dark Comedy Crime Novel

By: Mark Furness

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Dark comedy crime with bite — and a cockatoo even the villains fear.

Meet Lennie and Joe — suburban electricians by day who fix faults in the justice system at night — and Rawcus, a cockatoo with a knack for spotting a rat with gold teeth before it opens its mouth.

When a small fortune falls from the sky after a cargo shipment tears open on a city wharf, Lennie and Joe are in luck — they’re fishing nearby. They grab the money and run.

But luck has a habit of creating debts.

Rawcus — raised in a pub where he learned a cutting vocabulary and how to spot dodgy characters at fifty paces — can see the trouble coming.

When Lennie’s former parole officer arrives asking about the missing cash — flanked by men built like demolition equipment — old mistakes resurface and new enemies begin circling.

And that windfall isn’t their only problem.

A “trusted” financial adviser once convinced Lennie’s Aunty Doreen that money grew on trees — leaving her with nothing but shame and an early grave.

Lennie has a plan.

A sea voyage.
A small yacht named Flamingo Sky.
A tormentor who may not make it back to shore.

Justice, after all, requires action.

As Lennie explains:

“A machine isn’t just a bunch of nuts and bolts. It’s a process that transforms things.”

Justice Machine is part of the Firefly Electrics series — where each novel can be read as a standalone story.

Rawcus shuns Lennie's fancy ideas.

“Ya dumb as a box o’ hammers!”
