Power corrupts. When combined with money it can be dangerous, as lawyer Patrick O’Leary finds out. Patrick’s love for Melissa, the daughter of the Queensland police minister, leads him to a life pursuing power and money. But what of the dangers? Politicians, police, crime lords, drug dealers, even spies – everywhere he turns he sinks deeper into corruption. Is there no safe haven? Is there nothing pure in life? After all the deception, is redemption possible? Must it come at the cost of his love for Melissa? And what of the society, the nation? Is everything corrupt? Corruption traces Patrick’s life from the 1980s to the present as he attempts to find answers to these questions and stay alive.

Gerard Hogan is a former public service executive. He served his final years in the Australian Public Service as a performance audit manager with the Australian National Audit Office before retiring in 1996.


He is proud to have been married to the one woman for more than 50 years. He has three children and eight grandchildren.


Like the hero of this story, he lives in a comfortable townhouse in Canberra, although he is not nearly as well off.

    Patrick seems like quite a character and I would like to know more.

  • NetMassimo

    This seems like an engaging crime fiction novel. I lived through the 1980s and '90s, so I should get the references to that era (seems like a lifetime ago!) and be able to focus on the story and geography.

  • Fransisca Ekezie

    The title of the book was what attracted me at first, how corrupt the world is and the problems the less privileged pass through!
