Glenn Orgias in conversation
We are delighted to have Glenn Orgias join us to talk about his debut crime novel, Teeth Kicker.
Vincent Silk is back in the decaying maw of Australia's Steel City after losing everything. He wants to make amends but first he has to pay off his debts to an unhinged loan shark. With no way to make good, Vincent is forced to take on a brutal new role: working as an enforcer, a Teeth Kicker, collecting debts in a town where everyone owes someone something.
Vincent is big and imposing, so he should be a natural at hunting down late-payers, but he hates the violence and his conscience weighs heavy. Every knock on a door tests his resolve, especially when his next target turns out to be Henrietta, the woman who once saved him from an OD – and the someone he's in love with. Vincent wants to protect her, and he knows running isn't an option. The shark would come for their families, including Vincent's younger brother, Ray.
Vincent decides to take matters into his own hands and solve everyone's problems – until it all unravels, and he's left with an impossible choice between the two people he loves the most. Unless, of course, he's willing to sacrifice himself to save them both.
