The Devil's Fiddle

By Sandra Venn-Brown

Detective Inspector Mark Brighton is brought back to a share house he visited as a young policeman, to investigate the brutal murder of its landlady, Anne Reidy two years later. Stepping back to the scene brings back painful memories of a failed romance and the dysfunctional residents who all had a grudge to bear against Anne. All his old acquaintances still have a connection to the house and its landlady - a tragic, lonely woman with no family of her own. All five residents are implicated in the seemingly pointless murder. Who is guilty? How can he unravel the past while hanging onto his sanity? Will the tumultuous affair he had with the beautiful and bewitching Karen Williams be a help to solving the puzzle or will it be his undoing? Set in the late 1990s in suburban Brisbane, this story of guilt, innocence and deception will have readers turning pages. At every stage of the investigation another red herring is presented and discarded by the meticulous but utterly flawed DI Brighton.
