Read Appeal Denied: A Cliff Hardy Novel Storyline:

Stripped of his investigator's license, Cliff Hardy faces an uncertain future when something personal happens that provokes him into his best role: a confrontational investigator with a taste for violence and no regard for his lost credentials. Taking and dealing out punishment, mostly in Sydney's exclusive suburbs, Hardy encounters degenerate cops, bereft wives, and computer challenges. In a shadowy showdown at a chic Sydney beach, Hardy challenges those in his way, but his future remains even more clouded than before. An internationally loved yet reluctant hero, Hardy struggles to sort out corruption from loyalty as he tries to determine his future as an Aussie investigator.From BooklistIn the latest in the long-running Cliff Hardy series, the Australian private investigator finds himself without a license, and with no chance of getting it back. Does that mean the straight-talking, working-class PI will have to stop solving crimes? Hardly. When Cliff’s investigative-reporter girlfriend is murdered, there’s just no way he is going to stand idly by, especially when the police appear to be covering up the motive for her murder. The Hardy series, which is nearly 25 years old, keeps evolving (just as its hero has grown over time), and Corris once again shows why he is among Australia’s premier crime-fiction authors. --David Pitt Review"Corris is a tried and true crime writer."  —The Age
