O''''Fear

The twelfth book in the Cliff Hardy series

When Todd Barnes, war veteran and popular drinking mate, leaves Cliff Hardy a tidy sum to find out who killed him, Hardy can hardly refuse - and he needs the money. Todd''''s widow and some of his cronies are not always cooperative, however, and it''''s hard to tell friends from enemies, especially when it comes to the mysterious Kevin O''''Fearna, known as O''''Fear.

Hardy''''s battered Falcon takes him from the familiar mean streets of Sydney to equally dangerous bushland, where he''''s on his own up against heavy odds. A not-unfamiliar situation for Sydney''''s most enduring private investigator.
