Publisher Description
'A cracking read' Sydney Morning Herald
How far would you go to save a friend?
When Melissa Cheung’s husband is arrested in China for corruption, her first call is to Peter Tanner.
As a criminal defence barrister, Tanner often crosses paths with some of the most evil but wealthy members of the nation’s underbelly. Melissa’s phone call takes Tanner away from drug dealers and crooked property developers into the highest end of corporate corruption – mining companies trying to cover up environmental disasters and families at the top of the rich list who think they’re above the law.
As he pursues those who had Cheung incarcerated, Tanner unearths cover-up after cover-up, putting his life and those of others in danger as he tries to bring the perpetrators to justice.
A tough, gritty legal thriller from the bestselling author of Hell Has Harbour Views

Customer Reviews
Cyanide Games, “Justice may be blind, but she can smell money.”
A well written Australian crime novel. Beasley smoothly entwines several story lines, linking the personal and corporate crimes of the rich and powerful. His knowledge of the law shows, without slowing his story down. Higjly recommend.

I was unable to put this book down. Great plot, believable characters and very well written.
If you loved "Getting Square" by Nyst, you will want to read this book. It's a must.
Compelling from start to finish
This is brilliant in every way. If you enjoy reading about the judicial system this is for you. Fast moving, plausible characters, destruction of our planet & the main character whipped me into a frenzie of reading this compelling story in a day. Go figure! And yet there is more? Book 2 coming up next in the series & off I go again.
