THE FIX

Book ID/图书代码： 03540011B45524

English Summary/英文概要： In need of some quick cash when he returns to Brisbane after years in London, Josh whores himself to his brother’s PR firm and inadvertently becomes part of ‘the fix’.

At university Josh had dreamed of investigative journalism, exposing corruption and changing the world for the better. After a romance and friendship fail simultaneously he finishes his university studies with little motivation except a desire to head to London.

Back in Brisbane, at his brother Brett’s urging he takes on a job for law firm Randall Hood Beckett, getting some coverage for one of their employees who is to be awarded the Star of Courage. That employee happens to be university mate and girlfriend-stealer Ben Harkin.

Details of the office siege in which Ben is said to have performed ‘a conspicuous act of courage’ in saving partner Frank Ainsworth’s life when he is threatened by a crazed gunman just don’t ring true for Josh. Is he still holding a grudge or is Ben keeping something from him?

Will three days on the Gold Coast with Ben and law-student/stripper Hayley/Jett restore old friendships, begin new romances and improve their putting, or, reveal details to change all their lives?

Written with the warmth and humour synonymous with all of Nick Earls’ work and a new touch of the detective.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在伦敦生活几年后，Josh回到布里斯班，急需用钱，因此他到自己哥哥的公共关系公司里做娼妓，不经意间成了“受操控”的一部分。

读大学时，Josh的梦想是从事新闻调查工作，揭露贪污腐败，让世界变得美好些。在经历了爱情、友情的双双失败后，Josh大学毕业了，除了想去伦敦外，没有任何打算。

回到布里斯班后，在哥哥的一再催促下，他在一家名为Randall Hood Beckett的律师事务所找到一份工作，并从一个同事那里听到一点新闻，这个员工被授予“勇气之星奖”。这个员工恰巧是他的大学同学，也是抢他女朋友的那个人--- Ben Harkin。

在一次办公室被围攻的细节描述里，据说Ben表现得很英勇，当他们被一个疯狂的持枪男子威胁时，挽救了同事Frank Ainsworth的生命。但Josh认为这事不靠谱。是他仍对Ben心怀怨恨还是Ben隐瞒了什么？

与法律系学生Ben，脱衣舞女Hayley和Jett在黄金海岸共度三天能挽回他们之间昔日的友谊吗？会发展出新的恋情吗？会揭露处什么改变他们生活的细节吗？

与Nick Earls其它的作品一样，此书在写作中充满暖昧和幽默，更有新的感触提供。(兼职翻译-PZ)
