Book Name : Dead Heart
Author : Douglas Kennedy
What is it about : A man got drunk one night in a bar in a nowhere town in Western Oz, kidnapped to the Australian Outback after being drugged by an Aussie woman with biceps the size of his thighs; climaxing in an escape from the gun slinging in-laws. Yep, he even got married to the mob !
Some thoughts after having read the book : I couldn't put the book down for its break-neck pace and the frightening thoughts of being trapped in the remoteness of the Oz Outback- I was in this nowhere land for a month some years back - the isolation and dimensions of the place just do not give hope a chance.

Would I recommend this book to you : Definitely; the dark humour, the desperation in this straightforward tale of escape drama, would make you think twice about saying G'day to a Sheila in the Australian Outback !
