I live in Adelaide, capital city of the State of South Australia. I've been an avid reader of crime fiction since I was a teenager many years ago. I especially love the British school of crime writing and its exploration of the ‘why’ rather than just the ‘who’. The Climate Change Murders is my first foray into writing a crime novel. I spent most of my working life writing social policy for government and non-government organisations and helping to develop social welfare services.
Detective Sergeant Skyla Merrick investigates the strange case of a man found murdered with his arm boiled in cooking oil. She has a suspect but why is he so keen to confess?
Detective Sergeant Skyla Merrick finds herself embroiled in a farce involving her boyfriend, a dodgy politician and the politician’s wife, all of whom have secrets they’d rather not have revealed. Then the spirits of George Orwell and Big Brother upset the delicate applecart.
