THE RULES OF BACKYARD CRICKET
Darren Keefe is in the trunk of a car. The gag, the cable ties, his bullet-shattered knee: everything points towards a shallow grave. The question is how he got there.
THE RULES OF BACKYARD CRICKET is about Darren and his brother and their single mother who raises them as the boys find sporting celebrity and walk down its mean streets.
It's about a cheeky kid with a pure talent; a mischievous boy growing into misadventure. A young man becoming a sporting star, gorging himself on fame seasoned with all the usual spices.
THE RULES OF BACKYARD CRICKET is a literary thriller propelled by Jock Serong's exhilarating prose, his humane grasp of character and his marvellous gift for observational detail.
Serong's debut novel, QUOTA, won the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Crime Novel in 2015. THE RULES OF BACKYARD CRICKET is his break-out novel.
