This book is seriously brilliant. As the reader progresses through the tale, the plot unravels like a virgin onion being prepared for its cuisinestic debut.

This fantastic story is relatively complex, but this complexity pays off tenfold as you progress, with each chapter's cliffhanger ending leaving you breathless but justifiably excited about what lies ahead.

At book's start, Hardy is hired by Miles Standish, lawyer, to investigate the apparent reappearance of a con man Richard Malouf presumed dead after being shot in the temple. Said con man was Hardy's financial advisor just after the death of Lilly Truscott Hardy's part time lover who left him well over half a million dollars. We also learn that Hardy has been legally bound by a share market technicality that means he will shortly incur another massive debt.

As Hardy says to Standish, sitting comfortably in his office, "When people get personal with me, I tend to get personal back. Moments of poignancy are to be found as bonuses to the terrific story telling. So in summary this is another highly recommended purchase in the world famous Cliff Hardy series.

I have to admit that I always enjoy a Peter Corris novel about his crusty down to earth hero, Cliff Hardy. Corris writes about Sydney, where the novels are based, with a comfortable familiarity.

Sydney is presented as a wonderful sometimes sleazy location. It provides an excellent backdrop to the world of private eyes, crime and a criminal underworld. This time, Cliff is facing the end of the road. His appeal against being denied a PI licence is denied. His immediate prospects look bleak. Even more so when his lover is murdered and he is drawn into a web of intrigue and police doublecrossing and corruption. Cliff must use all his wits to keep his head above water. I once had an American friend who described the Cliff Hardy series as the quintessential Sydney novel.

The novels eek Sydney through their pores. One can almost smell the saltiness of the harbour, the grime of its streets and the sweat of its inhabitants. Peter Corris has reproduced Sydney as a novel. I won't spoil the plot for any readers of the review. Suffice to say that Cliff meets danger consistently and, by and large, triumphs.
