Read inadvertently uncovers a scandal that will rock the Australian horse racing industry to its very foundations, involving illegal doping, bribery, corruption, blackmail, sex and even murder.
This time Read must rely on all of his street smarts and cunning just to survive. But who can he trust? John Pasquarelli

About the Author
About the author: John Pasquarelli is perhaps best known to the Australian public for being Pauline Hanson’s political adviser after her election to the Federal Parliament in 1996. Pasquarelli authored Hanson’s maiden speech which has gone down in Australian political history as the most controversial and recognised maiden speech of any parliamentarian since federation. Since 1960, Pasquarelli has periodically lived and worked in Papua New Guinea and was a member of that country’s first parliament, 1964-1968. He was the first to discover the gold and copper at Frieda River in 1963 and shot crocodiles when he began his trading activities on the Sepik and Ramu Rivers. Pasquarelli is acknowledged as an expert on Oceanic Art and he collected for Nelson Rockefeller in the 1960s. He was a substantial donor to the PNG National Museum and during his time in parliament had the famous Haus Tambaran at Kanganaman on the Middle Sepik declared National Cultural Property. In recent years, Pasquarelli has become a talented artist, selling his works to prominent Australians and staging a number of public exhibitions. John currently lives in Townsville where he maintains a keen and active interest in Australian and PNG politics and occasionally appears on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show. This is John’s second book after his best selling The Pauline Hanson Story By The Man Who Knows.

Straight Shots - Lots of Knocks

The Straight Six by John Pasquarelli
www.johnpasquarelli.com, Kindle version Amazon.com 260 pages, US$7.55.
This is a novel that was dying to be written. Horseracing, drugs, politics, intrigues. Low life and high society. Fascinating technical details of human and animal viscera. Intimate sexual details. The dry and disconcerting humour of the central protagonist – hardened ex-New Guinea patrol officer, Jack Read.
Insurance investigations are usually run of the mill. The loss adjuster makes enquiries, submits a report and collects a fee. But when horses, their jockeys, veterinarians, strappers and trainers, bent coppers and standover men are involved, there has to be a reckoning. And middle-aged Jack Read is the man, for all his doubts and faults, to get a handle on things and in the end survive for another day.
The thrill of the race. The Straight Six at Melbourne’s Flemington Race Course is a punter’s dream. Horses sprint their hearts out, even better assisted by elephant juice. Money is won and lost depending on who is in the know, going all the way to the Victorian Police and Corrective Services Minister. Rent boys, bikies, paedophiles, bisexuals, and horny women all get their day. Jack Read, always a keen observer, is sometimes a smart operator.
The story has a promising start involving an elephant. But this is followed by a lesson on racing history, fortunately behind a prologue barrier. And so to chapters one and two – a suspected dishonest personal injury claim – introducing a few characters (and a love interest of course) and then into race horse claims in chapter three. The novel canters into an easy rhythm from about chapter four.
All is genuine real life drama. The author has a way with words. One can live in Melbourne and not really be there. We are getting everything about the city, its people, its cafes, trams (‘raising swirls of dust from the fine sand directed where its braking wheels made contact with the tracks.’) and weather. Pasquarelli the painter creates the colour, atmosphere and dialogues of Emile Zola. He has the measure of the city, its environs, people and animals, as well as Sydney, including Balmain and Manly.
I remember, when living in Melbourne, real-life elephant juice scandals. I’ve had an interest in race horses. I rode one of the author’s nags – a pathetic but honest thoroughbred which sadly ended its days put down by a vet after it had ripped its fetlock in a wire fence. The Straight Six is for horse lovers, punters, and readers seeking a human and humane streak of honesty delivered in plain language with insightful repartee, an intriguing plot and a touch of class.
This is a truly filmic novel with great potential for a mainstream publisher to make a killing.
Martin Kerr has written seven novels and two volumes of short stories. His books, including New Guinea Patrol first published as a hardback in 1973, are available on Kindle or through his website www.maskimedia.com.au.
