Twisted Trees (Bromo Perkins crime fiction, #4) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The fourth book in the ongoing Bromo Perkins crime series, Twisted Trees sees disgraced British secret service agent Bromo Perkins again being stirred from his exile as a "sleeper" in Australia. This time it is to delve into the brutal stabbing of the twenty-something son of Dave McCoy, a "person of interest" to Bromo's bosses back in London.

Within days of his son's death, McCoy's only daughter has been assaulted in her own home and pictures of her stripped, shaved and tied up sent to her father. Second son Brendan narrowly escapes an arsonist's attack on his bush block home and his sibling, Trevor, is upturned from his kayak and left to drown in the Yarra River.

Each attack is accompanied by a cryptic warning about family trees and a threat that worse will follow. Bromo calls upon the genealogy experience of occasional associate and hoped-for lover Liz Shapcott who promises to research the McCoy family tree.

The pair are soon drawn into a murderous web of duplicity and murder that leads back to London in the Blitz.

Autorenporträt

Tony Berry is a lifelong career journalist who has worked on national magazines and daily newspapers in his native Britain and in Australia, where he has made his home for several decades. He has written four previous crime fiction books featuring disgraced secret service agent Bromo Perkins, and a family history based on numerous research trips exploring the places where his ancestors once lived. His first novel, Done Deal, was short-listed for the New South Wales Genre Fiction Award. So, too, was the sequel Washed Up, which also secured him a mentorship with the Australian Society of Authors. Since then he has written three more tales of Bromo Perkins' adventures. In 2017 he was one of eight writers chosen worldwide for the inaugural crime fiction residency at the Banff Centre for Excellence in Canada.

As an accredited professional editor in Australia and the UK Tony also edits fiction and non-fiction in a wide range of genres. He is completing his second memoir, Celtic Skeletons. For recreation he battles the curse of ageing as he tries to maintain his status as an elite masters' athlete at national and international level over distances from 3000 metres to the marathon.
