Firing a guy is one thing. Beating him up is another. But kidnapping a man's dog? Ok, that's game on…

When depressed corporate worker Jason Axleby loses his career and his girlfriend, he tries something new – a job in garden maintenance. His new boss, Hayley Dubner, loves sticking her nose into other people's business, so when Jason finds a murder victim under the rose bushes, Hayley insists on a spot of snooping before they call the cops.

Before Jason knows what's happening, his dog has been kidnapped and the gardeners have both been forced into a violent underworld chase for the murder victim's fortune. This means finding the dead man's phone–which is easier said than done when every two-bit gangster in Melbourne is after it.

As the killer's deadline looms, Jason gets attacked in a train station toilet, jumps naked from a two story building in Bali and is almost buried alive by a giant pile of green waste. More importantly, he digs deep to unravel why he's been so miserable lately and what he needs to do to get his life—and his dog—back.

Primarily set around Melbourne, Australia, 'The Man in the Silver Suit' is part murder mystery, part bumbling crime caper, and part action-packed kidnapping thriller.
