A Murmuration of Starlings: A Birder Murder Mystery

By Steve Burrows

In the tenth Birder Murder Mystery, demons from the past await Jejeune down under...

To rescue his relationship with Lindy Hey, DCI Domenic Jejeune intends to resign from the police, but his plan is met with a suggestion to visit Australia, where Lindy hopes a colleaque can talk him out of quitting. However, trouble awaits Jejeune down under: Lindy's nemesis, Ray Hayes, now lives there, and he needs Jejeune's help. If Jejeune refuses, Hayes will expose a secret that will send Lindy to jail.

Meanwhile, back in Norfolk, Sergeant Danny Maik is investigating a murder at a lithium plant with ties to Australia. Jejeune knows Maik's inquiries will lead him to Hayes and pit the two detectives against each other.

Can he prevent Maik from pursuing his investigations? Can he live with helping Hayes walk free? Set against a backdrop of Australia's current ecological restoration efforts and the echoes of its colonial past, this case will test Jejeune's integrity, judgment, and loyalty. And bring him some unsettling answers.
