A collection of gripping short stories in the Cliff Hardy series from highly successful Australian crime fiction writer, Peter Corris.

'The godfather of Australian crime fiction.'

Cliff Hardy is in action again: trying to keep one step ahead of his client's troubles - and his own.

He goes from sleazy backstreets to boardrooms in skyscrapers - dealing with everyone from fashion models and teenage junkies to urban developers and crooked funeral directors. Some are friendly, some try to kill him.

Hardy copes, with his guts and his savvy; and all for a hundred and twenty-five dollars a day (plus expenses).
