Matrimonial Causes: Cliff Hardy 17

‘The godfather of Australian crime fiction.’

Divorce cases are part of a private investigator’s bread and butter, and Cliff Hardy has had his share. This case, though, has a lot more than matrimonial squabbles - add in some perjury, fraud and murder to the mix. Crooked cops, lawyers and a call girl complete the collection, all making for a tough, and dangerous, puzzle for Hardy to try to solve while keeping his private investigator’s licence, and his skin, intact.
