    About this ebook

    Paddy doesn't think he is a bad person. Okay, being a car salesman, he might exaggerate the merits of his cars to make a sale. So what? That's what any good salesman would do. Alatan from Tel Aviv and Blue, a true fair dinkum Aussie, have also led less than perfect lives some would say. But what happens on judgment day? The three meet for the first time in a bar, now their futures are intertwined. But no one saw this coming.
