From the back of the book:
'Terminal illness. Terminal containers. I'd seen one yesterday: Mark's coffin. Transported from this world into the next. I wondered about the contents of these huge containers, wondered how many kilos of heroin were down there right this minute.'

Mark Bannister, writing 'the bestseller of the century' is found dead at his computer - the victim of a murder so perfect that Claudia Valentine smells a rat... and wants it caught.

The chase leads deep into the murky underworld of Sydney - a world where bright, tough Claudia must play a deadly high-tech game of cat and mouse with the menacing overlord of the city's cancerous network of crime and corruption.

Witty, wryly humorous and fast-paced, The Life and Crimes of Harry Lavender is a thriller with a twist, which brilliantly evokes the sleaze below the surface of the city's glittering facade.
