Book excerpt: SET TO BE ADAPTED FOR THE SCREEN. Like Michael Connelly''s Bosch, John Bailey will risk everything to get to the truth - and expose a deadly enemy. There''s nothing more dangerous than a man who can fall no further ... ''Ayliffe delivers a taut, nail-biting page-turner, stamping his mark on the modern day Australian thriller.'' Better Reading He had never killed anyone who hadn''t deserved it. The means always justified the end. He didn''t need forgiveness. He needed justification. The greater good. Battered war correspondent John Bailey is a man living on the edge. He''s haunted by nightmares of being kidnapped and tortured in Iraq and he''s drinking too much to drown the memories. As he battles to get his life back together, a story breaks that will force him back into the spotlight - and into the crosshairs of a deadly international player. When a beautiful prostitute is found murdered in her luxury apartment, Bailey is ordered to cover the story by The Journal''s editor and his old friend, Gerald Summers, because he can''t trust anyone else. One of the victim''s clients, a key advisor to the Defence Minister, is chief suspect in her murder and he''s on the run. When he contacts Bailey, claiming to have information that will bring down the government, the stakes become deadly. To complicate matters, the investigating police detective is the woman Bailey walked out on a decade ago. When a ruthless CIA fixer turns up, followed by a murderous Chinese agent hot on his trail, Bailey realises he has stumbled onto the story of a lifetime - one that he may not live to tell. The brilliant first book in Tim Ayliffe''s bestselling John Bailey series. Bailey''s adventures in The Greater Good, State of Fear and The Enemy Within will be adapted for the screen by CJZ Productions, Australia''s largest independently owned production company.
