Hell Has Harbour Views
About this book
The bestselling, bitingly satirical novel about one man's search for his soul … in the most soulless of places. 'A fearsome satirical blast.' The Age Hugh Walker has it all. He's a successful young lawyer with a beautiful girlfriend and a million dollar office view … So why does he identify more with his resident cockroach than Atticus Finch, his childhood hero? Once upon a time he was the defender of the abused, the voice of the oppressed. But now he's turning a blind eye to suspect time sheets, championing the powerful against the powerless, and not being entirely honest with his girlfriend. Has his good side deserted him? Is there a way back?
PRAISE FOR HELL HAS HARBOUR VIEWS 'A sharp-clawed comedy.' Sydney Morning Herald 'The funniest, most unutterably savage lawyer joke ever.' John Birmingham 'Beasley exercises brutal wit … His spirited whistleblowing is a tonic.' Weekend Australian
