The three novels that inspired the acclaimed Foxtel/Netflix series condensed into one compelling thriller.

When seasoned journalist Harry Dunkley is slipped a compromising photograph of a federal MP one frosty Canberra morning, he knows he is onto something big. But the deeper Harry investigates, the more he realises that this photograph is merely the hint of a larger conspiracy at work, and a secret its guardians are willing to kill to protect.

'There are more spies in Canberra than anywhere else in the country' - Chris Uhlmann

'I'd always had this idea of writing a political thriller' - Steve Lewis

'Given the fact that the books are set in Canberra (the capital of Australia), the novels' authors definitely have some solid background in the city's political workings' - Bustle.com

'Political insiders Steve Lewis and Chris Uhlmann bring biting wit and behind-the-headlines insight to this sharply observed novel ... House of Cards, Canberra style' - Sunday Canberra Times
