Stripped of his investigator's licence and with his appeal
denied, Cliff Hardy faces an uncertain future. Then something very
personal happens that sends him off doing what he does best -
confronting, questioning, provoking violent reactions - with the
lack of credentials not an issue.
Is policewoman Jane Farrow bent or straight? Will vertically
challenged but charismatic media star Lee Townsend be a help or an
obstacle? Taking and dealing out punishment, mostly on Sydney's
North Shore, Hardy encounters corrupt cops, bereft wives and
computer geeks. In a shadowy showdown at Balmoral Beach, Hardy
sorts out those who need to be, but his future remains even more
clouded than ever before.
