From Booklist
For readers not yet familiar with Australian detective Cliff Hardy, the North American release of this novel offers an excellent opportunity to meet one of the more engaging sleuths on the international beat. In Saving Billie, Hardy is hired by a journalist to find out what happened to a missing source. Billie Marchant has information about media bigwig Jonas Clement, or so she claims. Soon enough, saving Billie becomes a potentially deadly endeavor. Caught between Clement and his archrival, both of whom are hell-bent on finding the missing woman, it takes all of Hardy's skills to keep himself, his client, and his quarry in one piece. David Pitt
