Synopsis

A murder mystery where the murders are not the mystery. Four murderers in three of six countries. One, two, three women – four? They don’t know each other. Why did they do it? What are their stories? What led a nice girl born in Holland to murder her husband in Australia? Why did a nice girl born in an Australian desert murder her father? Why did a nice Japanese/Chinese/Australian girl murder her grandmother's husband? What drove a girl born in a Kalgoorlie brothel to invent an outback perfume? What role does a naïve young English curate play when he finds himself installed as chaplain to a battalion of volunteer soldiers in Malaya as the Japanese invade the country? And the Scottish ex-pat rubber planter who starts a train of events that land his granddaughter in a foreign prison? How does a detective recently allocated to his last case get mixed up in it all? And are there coded clues in the text? Ranging from wartime Holland to central Australia and the Burma-Thai Railway, this story takes you on an eighty-year journey leading up to the days after the women leave prison. When they begin to receive text messages... Shocking, seductive, messages offering enormous rewards. In exchange for...? How will they respond? Who is sending the messages, and why? And what is it really all about? A murder mystery where the murders are not the mystery. You'll be entertained, intrigued, puzzled, startled, pissed off, laugh, cry, learn something, visit some unusual places – but probably won't guess how it ends...And is it possible to have poetry in murder?
