‘If there is enough money involved, truth becomes a tradeable commodity.
Like gold, it is malleable; it can be melted down and recast without losing its value.’
Travis Somerland is man accustomed to danger – but nothing can prepare him the for the peril, the intrigue or the ruthlessness that confronts him at Montechino. Or the murders.
Montechino: part palace and part fortress, the secluded estate of the uber-wealthy Felix Clapton, a modern-day robber baron who thinks business is arithmetic, not morality.
When the Claptons ignite a generations-old feud with one of the nation’s most powerful dynasties, Travis is thrust into a deadly struggle where murder is merely another bargaining chip.
Now, if he wants to bring justice to an unjust world, he’ll first have to stay alive.

Reviews
A thriller of remarkable complexity and irresistible force. Elegant, intricate and deeply compelling - Chris Hammer trusts his readers and rewards them magnificently.
Succession meets le Carré: a masterclass in tension, power and moral ambiguity. I devoured it. Razor-sharp, compulsively readable, and impossible to predict. Chris Hammer has created a fiercely clever, emotionally flawed hero I want to read again and again. Full Circle had me guessing - and second guessing - the whole way through. A brilliant, high-stakes thriller. Hammer is the master.
A few things are certain in life: death, taxes, and that Chris Hammer has written another winner.
With Full Circle, Chris Hammer gives us a seat at the boardroom table and then takes us behind closed doors into the addictive and disorienting world of the uber rich. This story has it all-wealth, privilege, secrets, lies and murder-and a hearty dose of humanity to boot. Hook this book straight into your veins and enjoy the ride.
A complex, multi-layered family saga wrapped in a page-turning thriller from the master of Australian crime. Full Circle is an exhilarating tale of money, power, betrayal and moral dilemma. Consistently brilliant. No one does it like Hammer. One of the true greats of Australian crime writing.
Corporate skulduggery behind the veiled world of high finance. The lawless entitlement of the dynastically privileged - and murder in the gated playground of the super-rich. With Full Circle Chris Hammer takes Australian crime fiction to another stratospheric level. This is his best yet. I relished it.
An intricately layered thriller about those who corrupt our most trusted systems, and the danger faced by those who defy them. Just when you think you've figured out the next move, Hammer shakes up the board. To read Hammer is to watch a master at work.
The darkly glittering world of Montechino and the family who make war on the wealthy is a fascinating and terrifying ride. Hammer is at his very best in this thrilling depiction of corruption, deception and redemption. I absolutely loved it.
