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.

First published in Australia in 2001 by Pan MacMillan Australia.
