Synopsis

Detective Senior Sergeant Lucielle ( Lucky) Lambert looked down at the naked body lying in the bath. The eyes were closed, the dark hair was plastered to her head with strands flattened against her cheeks and forehead and blood had trickled down the right side of her face from the fatal gash on her head. The makeup was a bit blurry and streaked, but overall, the body was in pretty good shape. Yes, she thought, I can definitely ID this body, there's no doubt, it's mine.

The police are convinced it is an accidental death but she knows it was murder. But how can she find her killer when she can't identify him, there's no apparent motive and no evidence? Besides, being dead, she can't be seen or heard so how can she gather evidence or interview suspects?

In desperation she decides to enlist the help of Evelyn, a reluctant psychic and a madcap character, who in the past suffered embarrassing indignity at the hands of the Police and is now no longer inclined to use her psychic ability to solve crimes. Lucky eventually convinces her to help and this sets them on a trail of murders that in some strange way seem connected to her own death.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Bryon Williams, ex-stage and television actor, script writer, producer, director turned novelist, has now retired to a Retirement Village in Brisbane. Two of his previous novels, The Grumpy Old Withered of Oz, a comedic, semi-autobiographical book about the frustrations of ageing and life as his wife's carer in the not-so-fast lane of the Zzzzzzzzz Generation, and The Twilight Escort Agency, an hilarious and bawdy account of a mythical escort agency for the 'more mature' client, have enjoyed very positive independent reader response, as has his third novel, the whimsical comedy crime-fantasy, ideal for cat lovers, Code Name: Millicent - The Cat Intelligence Agent Who Came Out of the Cold. The Tourist from the Light, an intriguing paranormal romance with an underlying theme of a thought- provoking alternative spiritual philosophy, followed. His fifth novel, The Burning Boy, is an exciting action/crime page turner based on the horrors that haunt an ex-Vietnam War cameraman who returns to Australia in the mid seventies and becomes inadvertently involved in a sophisticated and lethal people-smuggling racket. His beloved wife of 45 years, Marie suffered a disastrous stroke in 2000 and Bryon retired to become her full time carer until she passed on in 2014. Bryon went on to write a memoir of his career and his married life, A Light at the End, which received numerous 5 star favourable reviews. With the legalisation of gay marriage and acceptance of sexual equality, he then changed course and wrote Naked Warrior, a gay, erotic love story based on Bryon's belief in Reincarnation. Intrigued and inspired by an old friend's unresolved story of the tragic murder of her daughter in 1988, they corroborated to co-write, Not in the Public Interest, published in 2019
