Even when he's not involved in a major case, PI Cliff Hardy's life is far from routine. The 20th Cliff Hardy mystery.In these stories a whistleblower is himself betrayed, a son turns against his father, brothers feud, men are harassed by women, and things are never quite what they seem. Whether on the familiar streets of Sydney or out of town, Hardy's cases don't always have tidy endings--and sometimes he has to take the law into his own hands.
