About this book

‘A gutsy legal thriller … the very best of crime fiction.’ The Age ‘A cracking read.’ Sydney Morning Herald Privilege and power will get you everywhere. When Melissa Cheung’s husband is arrested in China for corruption, her first call is to Peter Tanner. As a criminal defence barrister, Tanner often crosses paths with some of the most evil but wealthy members of the nation’s underbelly. Melissa’s phone call takes Tanner away from drug dealers and crooked property developers into the highest end of corporate corruption – mining companies trying to cover up environmental disasters and families at the top of the rich list who think they’re above the law. As he pursues those who had Cheung incarcerated, Tanner unearths cover-up after cover-up, putting his life and those of others in danger as he tries to bring the perpetrators to justice. Praise for Hell Has Harbour Views 'A fearsome satirical blast for the suits and for Sydney.’ The Sunday Age Praise for The Ambulance Chaser ‘A robust and often hilarious farce about the shenanigans at the big end of town.’ Sydney Morning Herald Praise for Me and Rory Macbeath ‘A majestic, high-ceilinged cathedral of a novel.’The Australian
