A fascinating historical mystery by Sulari Gentill, author of #1 LibraryReads pick The Woman in the Library Winner of the 2018 Ned Kelly Award for Best Mystery For fans of Rhys Bowen, Kerry Greenwood and Jacqueline Winspear comes an adventure-packed romp that threads 1934 Sydney's upper class and its seedy underworld. Wealthy Rowland Sinclair, an artist with leftist friends and a free-wheeling lifestyle, reluctantly agrees to a charity race. He'll drive his beloved yellow Mercedes on the Maroubra Speedway, renamed the Killer Track for the lives it has claimed. His teammates are a young Errol Flynn and the well-known driver Joan Richmond. It's all good fun. But then people start to die... The body of a journalist covering the race is found murdered in a House of Horrors. An English blueblood with Blackshirt affiliations dies in a Maroubra crash. Reporters stalk Rowly for dirt while bookmakers are after an edge. When someone takes a shot at him--it could be anyone. Then the police arrest one of Rowly's housemates for murder. For fans of Golden Age mysteries--but with a bohemian twist--this historical novel features a riveting crime, a wry, almost British sense of humor, and an amateur sleuth you can't help but root for.
