Patrick White, a small-time drug dealer and criminal, is struggling to make sense of his existence in Sydney's outer-western suburbs. Meeting Sonja, the daughter of a Russian migrant, makes him realise that perhaps he can create his own luck and actually make something of his life. Abdullah Najib loves to drive. He and his mates spend time cruising the streets looking for girls, he feels invincible and powerful in the suburbs and will push his luck with anything that comes his way. Senior Sergeant Testafiglia is investigating a spate of sexual assaults on teenage girls and worries for his own seventeen-year-old daughter, Artemesia. The lives of these characters intersect in the sprawling suburbs of western Sydney, a place where the luck begins to trickle out and where lives will change irrevocably. "Luck in the Greater West" offers a compelling insight into a world Australian literature doesn't often visit.
