AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Paul Harrigan is a top cop who has survived the corruption and political manoeuvrings of the NSW Police. So far ...

'Grace Riordan has left the Service and now works in the shadowy world of undercover intelligence - so she and Harrigan can't talk about work much.

'Harrigan is called to a grisly murder scene in Sydney's wealthy north: four dinner guests are seated around the dinner table - all dead. One of them a Senator's ex-wife; one of them a missing corrupt NSW detective. And the mummified condition of the detective's body - identified by a distinctive tattoo - suggests he has been dead for quite some time ...

'Politics, corruption, big business, espionage and illicit biotechnology ... Alex Palmer weaves them all into a heart-stopping race for the truth.' (Publisher's blurb)
