Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A fearsome satirical blast’ Sunday Age Sydney, 2001: 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? A bitingly satirical novel about one man’s search for his soul … in the most soulless of places. 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 in deconstructing modern angst … His spirited whistleblowing is a tonic’ Weekend Australian
