  SHORTLISTED FOR THE NED KELLEY AWARD FOR BEST DEBUT CRIME FICTION 
   
  A page-turning debut murder mystery, set in Byron Bay. 
   
  Jack Harris, the disgraced son of Australia's most powerful business tycoon, has just been exiled to Byron Bay as a junior journalist at his father's smallest regional newspaper, The Beacon. His arrival coincides with the disappearance of the newspaper's editor, Patrick O'Shaughnessy, while out on his morning surf. When Patrick's body is discovered in the ocean, with a severed leg, it appears certain that he's fallen victim to a shark attack. 
   
  But when rumours emerge that Patrick was about to publish an explosive article – its subject unknown – Jack begins to suspect his death is not what it seems. 
   
  Although police aren't buying his murder theory, Jack joins forces with Patrick's daughter and investigates anyway, taking a sometimes less than lawful dive into the newspaperman's past. Together they discover plenty of Byron locals with a motive to kill, including a bioholistic dentist with a secret, a naturist with an undisguised grudge, and even the mayor of Northern Rivers Shire. But has Jack bitten off more than he can chew? 
   
  Immensely entertaining, The Beacon is a murder mystery with a difference, bursting with humour, local colour, memorable characters and page-turning action. 
   
  'Set in Byron Bay, this beachside mystery is a fun-filled page-turner that kept me guessing, and smiling, the whole way through. A rip-roaring yarn with a satisfying plot and likeable characters, The Beacon is the perfect summer read.' – PATRICIA WOLF, author of Outback and Paradise

  A MAGIC SHOW WITH DEATH AS THE STAR GUEST… 
  December, 1925. 
  Posie Parker, London’s premier female Private Detective, is only just back in town when she receives an unexpected visitor. 
  The mysterious magician, Count Olli Onneri, pupil of the legendary American magician Harry Houdini, invites Posie to take part in the opening night of his show at the nearby Holborn Empire, helping him with a ‘magic mirror’ trick, the like of which has never been seen before. 
  When Posie accepts - in the cynical hope of reviving her flagging public profile - she enters a world which is not just about pretty doves being pulled out of hats, but one in which real danger lurks. 
  Before the show, Count Onneri confesses to Posie that he is receiving death threats delivered to his sumptuous suite at the Ritz. All of the threats arrive inscribed on mirrors. But why? And why is he so scared of a theatre dressing room he claims he has never been in before? 
  Up on stage, all is not well either. When Olli Onneri is brutally killed in front of his own audience during his ‘magic mirror’ trick, Posie vows to investigate, and quickly. 
  As Posie’s husband, Chief Inspector Lovelace, starts to pursue suspects, why can’t Posie shake off the feeling that the motive for the murder is right in front of them, in the Holborn Empire itself? 
  A totally gripping 1920s historical cozy novella! Fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey are in for a treat.
