It is shockingly real, and focuses on the moral dilemmas facing young, naïve, and probationary Constable Jerry Renner, of the Australian Federal Police, who accidentally stumbles upon the largest and most efficient drug distribution racket in the annals of Australian criminal history. And why shouldn't it be - THE POLICE ARE RUNNING IT!

Gregory Victor Babic, also known as Greg Babic, is an Australian author of non-fiction and fiction.
He was born 16 October 1963 in Melbourne, Victoria, but moved to Sydney, New South Wales at about one month of age and has lived in that city ever since.
He graduated from Sydney Boys High School in 1981 (with the Higher School Certificate), the University of Sydney in 1990 (with a Bachelor of Arts degree), the University of New South Wales in 1992 (with a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education), and was a targeted graduate (one of the "best of the best" from across the state of New South Wales) first employed by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training in 1993 (when he earned his Teacher's Certificate). At various times he has taught English, History, General Studies, and Retail Operations in numerous public sector secondary schools in the greater Sydney metropolitan area.
He worked briefly in the Australian Federal Police as a Constable in the mid-Eighties. He was the President of his Recruit Training Class, and received the Prize "For Excellence in Law Practice" upon Graduation. However, in his second year it became clear to him that the AFP was not a good fit for him and vice versa, so he resigned to finish his education and become a teacher.
He has written two non-fiction books for the education market, Study Success Know-How: A 1,001-Point Action Checklist Designed To Help You Take Control Of Your Learning And Maximise Your Achievement Potential - Immediately!

Review - "The Last Loose End",
This review is from: The Last Loose End (Paperback)
Who does Jerry Renner turn to when there is no one he can trust.
When those he trusted with his life are out to destroy him. When the corruption seems to go to the very top. As the net tightens, Jerry is forced to take the most extreme measures in order to, not only get the truth our, but to survive. Readers will be on a knife edge as one by one Jerry's allies are silenced, kidnapped of killed. Put yourself in Jerry Renner's place. Then ask yourself, with all that is at stake. What would I do? Am I part of the disease? Or the cure? I am so glad this is a work of fiction. Otherwise, we are all in the deepest of trouble. The Last Loose End is a thrilling, fast paced novel that would definately make one hell of a movie. Can't wait for G. V. Babic's next book.
