Part Tamil, part Australian, John Tasker is an up-and-coming lawyer in the Attorney-General's Department. After he's visited by a Sri Lankan police inspector on the trail of Tamil terrorists, the line between a bureaucrat's life and the violent, amoral world of international terrorism becomes paper thin.
