Set in beachside Sydney in the 1950s, this pulp-fiction style detective series follows the life and adventures of Clyde Smith, a man in his mid-30s. War veteran, ex-cop, and tough guy.
After retiring from the police force, he’d hoped for a peaceful life, with a small private investigation business, working small cases and writing newspaper articles. However, trouble loves Clyde Smith—it just seems to keep knocking at his door.
Hard-way Smith, his dad called him. Clyde never minded—the name suits him just fine.
