In the 40th Cliff Hardy book, Hardy plays a cool hand as a decades-old crime resurfaces and old scores are settled.

Is Sydney gun city? It certainly seems so when Cliff Hardy is hired by entrepreneur and one-time pistol-shooting champion Timothy Greenhall to investigate the violent death of his troubled son. Soon Hardy is pitched into a world of crooked cops - former members of the Gun Control Unit - outlaw bikies and honest police trying to quietly clean the stables.

Two more murders raise the stakes and relationships are stretched to breaking point. Hardy hooks up with a determined policewoman and forms an unlikely alliance with a charismatic bikie chief.

Uncovering the tangled conspiracy behind the murders takes Hardy to the Blue Mountains and Camden, to plush legal chambers and a confrontation in an inner-west park - all against the roar of 750cc engines.

This is classic Corris, a joy to read as he takes his readers to the heart of a good crime mystery. * Newcastle Herald *
As usual, the pacing is brisk and Corris smoothly mixes genuine thrills with sharp-eyed descriptions of Sydney and astute political observations... Another well-crafted and thoroughly enjoyable Cliff Hardy adventure by the always reliable Corris. * Canberra Times *
Prolific Australian crime writer Corris is back again... The plotting is good, the characters and the dialogue ring true, and Corris writes in a very readable manner. * Northern Advocate *
