The Cartographer

I finished this book yesterday and enjoyed it immensely.  Set in Melbourne in 1959 and action packed, the book is narrated by an 11 year old who has a love of comics and views the world in those terms.  Contained within the story is an undercurrent of sadness, the main character has suffered a terrible loss in his life, as well as his parents marriage ending and having to work out how he is going to go on with his own life.  The cast includes likeable rogues mixed in with darker characters including crooked cops and murders.
