Man in the Shadows: A Short Novel and Six Stories: 11 (Cliff Hardy Series) - Tapa blanda

Hardy goes from strength to strength. * Adelaide Advertiser * Corris is writing about us and our cities, and doing it with incisive style. * Sydney Morning Herald * Peter Corris is undoubtedly a major figure in our time. -- Stephen Knight

The eleventh book in the Cliff Hardy series Gareth Greenway wasn't all he seemed, but Cliff Hardy was used to that. What he wasn't used to was the shadowy world Greenway leads him into: neurosurgeons, mental patients, AIDS sufferers, all negotiating a landscape of dreams and delusions. An old friend of Hardy's ends up dead while Hardy chases the shadows, catching some, losing others. The accompanying stories find Hardy on more familiar ground. When organised crime, political corruption and the Australian army are involved, Hardy battles the odds. But when it comes to a man-to- man contest, put your money on Hardy to win.
