Produktbeschreibung
When Hodgkiss decides to join an exercise group run by a very attractive young woman his daughter, Esme, insists that his friend Pat Strong join the group as chaperone. Hodgkiss soon learns that the notoriously corrupt Kanundda Council has plans to redevelop the park where the classes are held, plans that will greatly enrich the mayor and his cronies. But these plans are doomed because there is a murderer among the exercise group who commits his crime under cover of one of the exercise routines. When mail is delivered to the wrong addresses there can be serious consequences, as Hodgkiss discovers when his friend Pat Strong receives such a misdelivered letter. When they start to backtrack on the letter's history they find themselves on the trail of a ruthless psychopath who has killed to gain control of what he believes will be a valuable mine. The Mayor of Kanundda hires a killer with a strict code of honour to murder a public servant who is about to recommend that Kanundda Council be abolished. Hodgkiss, who bears a striking resemblance to the murdered man, manages to convince the mayor that the killer has not done the job and soon the mayor and his hired assassin are in savage disagreement.

Autorenporträt
Peter Sinclair has spent most of his working life writing. He began reporting courts and councils in rural Orange (NSW) in the late 1950s then worked briefly for The Sydney Daily Telegraph where, because of his fluent shorthand, he was sentenced first to report local councils then banished to the Coroner's Court.He'd had enough of sudden death and murder when opportunity knocked and he joined the staff of a new, large weekly paper in Sydney's northern suburbs, The North Shore Times where he was soon reporting councils again.In 1965, he climbed over the journalistic fence to work as press secretary for a succession of NSW cabinet ministers (both Liberal and Labor) until 1991. Since then, he has made guest reappearances to help out in the PR sections of government departments.His absorbing hobby is playing the piano. He has made a number of CDs in very limited editions. The titles tell it all: Peter Murders Mozart, Wrecks Rachmaninoff and Desecrates Debussy. He says he gives them away to people he doesn't like!He has been married to Margaret for fifty-seven years and they have two sons; Sam, who is married to Carolyn with one son, Harry, 18, and Patrick who is married to Beejai with twin boys, Jackson and Zachary, aged 13.
