Summary
Ed Kennedy is nineteen and drives a cab in Australia. He's an ordinary guy, going nowhere fast, until the day he foils a bank robbery. Shortly after the would-be robber is sentenced, Ed receives an ace of clubs with three addresses written on it. And so begins Ed's new adventure. Once he visits each address, he realizes he is supposed to do something for each person on the list. When he does, more cards and clues arrive, each with a new challenge.
Critique
Rich and unsentimental writing, a simple message, and a memorable cast of characters make for a mesmerizing adventure. Mature issues are tackled. Highly recommend.
