Bad Debts by Peter Temple
Jack Irish is an ex-lawyer current sort of private detective. He's also pals with a bunch of horse bettors. One of his former clients, back when he was deep in the bottle after the death of his ex-wife, calls him but is murdered before they can meet up. Irish goes on the trail to find out what mistakes he might have made for this client and tries to right the wrongs. Set in the suburbs of Melbourne, it's an Australian Noir detective story. Things of course get worse the more Irish digs into the mystery.
I stumbled upon Jack Irish as part of a detective series on Amazon. I had to go to the books when I realized they were only going to show me one season and I would have to sign up for a different streaming service if I wanted to see any more. I got the books from the library, instead.
I prefer the book Jack Irish to series Jack Irish. Series Jack Irish was more hapless while book Jack Irish is tougher. There are quite a few of these books and I will read more.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
