Burn, and Other Stories is 1993 Australian collection of stories by Peter Corris featuring private detective Cliff Hardy. It was the 16th book in the series.[1]
The Canberra Times wrote the collection "shows that Peter Corris is equally at home with the short story as he is with the novel... Well-plotted so it is not easy to guess the twist in the tail, and well-written, I found it hard to nominate a favourite, but I opt for "The House of Ruby", in which a con on a Sydney hoodlum is perpetrated by Hardy and his brothel mates."[2]
