Synopsis

The story is set in a corrupt Sydney law firm and follows the protagonist, Hugh Walker, a lawyer who always hoped he would be a defender of the poor and oppressed, until a Sydney law firm dangled an office with a harbour view in front of him. In no time he is turning a blind eye to suspect time sheets, representing powerful companies against powerless people, and not being entirely honest with his girlfriend.[3]

Development and publication

Beasley began writing the novel while working at a small law firm and has stated that it is based on several stories and people.[4]

It was first published in Australia through Pan Macmillan and has been published in print and ebook formats.[5][6]
