A series of 6 books, so far, about Murray Whelan, a political aide in Melbourne, Austrailia. This is the second book. The first had lots of humor, excitement, and never-ending confusion (on my part).

Started this last night, and it is nothing like the first book. It is easy to read, not confusing, and the reason is that Murray now works for the Minister of Culture (Arts), not the Minister of Ethnic matters..
