When student Melissa O'Grady is found dead in the Yarra River her death is dismissed as just another suicide until her mentor, architect Liz Shapcott, convinces disgraced British secret service agent Bromo Perkins that Melissa's death was murder and prevails upon him to unravel the events leading up to her death. And so, once again, Bromo is dragged reluctantly into scouring the streets and byways of Richmond as he plunges into a seedy and dangerous network of unscrupulous estate agents, crooked cops, corrupt city officials and a thriving white slave trade among the suburb's migrant community. His execution is called for and when he is kidnapped and driven deep into the heart of a state forest there seems to be little hope of escaping his determined killer captors.
Autorenporträt
Tony Berry is a journalist, editor and writer of crime fiction who has worked on newspapers, journals and magazines in the UK and Australia, where he emigrated several decades ago. In 2010 he made a spur of the moment decision to return to the UK and set up base in Cornwall while researching his family history. This resulted in the publication in 2011 of From Paupers to iPads, the story of his family across seven generations and three continents. He continues to edit fiction and non-fiction for clients in Australia and the UK and served for several years as editor of the quarterly journal of the Cornwall Family History Society. He devotes much of his spare time to running and for several years has been recognised as an elite competitor in masters' athletics at national and international level for distances from 5000m to the full marathon. His first two crime novels were shortlisted for the New South Wales Genre Fiction Award and the second also secured him one of only seven mentorships awarded by the Australian Society of Authors. He has since completed three more books in the ongoing series. Tony is a member of the Australian Society of Authors and a fully accredited member of the Institute of Professional Editors (Australia) and the Society of Editors and Proofreaders (UK).
