Dead Men DVD – Angie Milliken , Colin Friels

Jack Barrett is the type of guy no one calls Jack. He works for a group of businessmen known as The Gentlemen who operate within the fertile realm of the Sydney Underworld. Stand over tactics, prostitution, illegal gambling, creative importation – you name it, The Gentlemen are into it. And Barrett enforces it for them. Old school muscle for hire. FOR A HIT MAN, DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY OUT Now 53 years old, he’s tired of having to throw away perfectly good suits because you can’t dry-clean the blood off. No surprise that when he shuts his eyes at night, all he sees is a small fishing village, a run-about and a long line. To get there, he needs to get out. Out of Sydney. Out of the game, which is, of course, easier said than done. The ultimatum – one final job as a gesture of good will. Then he can go.Enter Billie Finn, a young university student doing her thesis on the fallout from the Wood Royal Commission on Organized Crime, asking the kind of questions that make gangsters a little nervous. So now we have a final job.
