Jarvis Langton is an unborn-again Christian living on the fringe.
He's not big on life and has tried to finish his own twice.
Still, on most days, he quite likes to sun himself at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens. One sunny morning, he notices something winking at him from a nearby bush. He investigates to find the dead body of his friend, Lady; a Thai transvestite.
Jarvis is not someone with his thoughts lined up in any reasonable order. It takes him a while to work out Lady must have been murdered. It takes longer for him to realise he is being followed. But once Jarvis decides he's going to track down Lady's killer; the premonition that finding Lady's murderer will bring him his own end, happens in an instant.
