The debut novel by Lester Gartland, A Hake's Tail explores the merging of the absurdity of modern life with the waning spiritual aspect of the natural human. Frank Mossan, is an over-the-hill security guard for a shopping centre that's well past its heyday. When he is tasked to find the owner's missing child by the end of the day he must follow an unreliable breadcrumb trail of information leading him into the stranger parts of the building. Dealing with the incompetence of his peers, the dilapidation of the premises, the loss of his wife, and his own apathetic inclinations, can Frank find the child before she is lost forever?
