About this ebook
'Deftly and entertainingly told' The Times
'Keneally has written yet another remarkable book ... It's also a ripper of a read' Sunday Express
With his genial air of an Australian innocent, Jacko Emptor is New York's most public trespasser, invading people's homes at random for a live television show.
Until he undertakes the televised hunt for a missing woman and, finally, meets a barrier even he will not transgress.
The dramatic tale of Jacko's exploits probes the dubious ethics behind some television programmes and illuminates how a civilized society can harbour appalling evil.
