About this ebook

A pensioner is murdered for a handful of medals… and a decade-old secret is about to be exposed.

 

Disgraced detective Linc Drummond has been packed off to the small Australian town of Failie, where he is unknown, unwelcome, and unhappy to be manipulated into working with local antiques dealer Mina Everton, no matter how good she looks in a bath towel.

 

But the petty thefts he's come to investigate have escalated to murder. Solving this case is his shot at redemption... until he learns about Mina's past, and the woman he's falling for becomes his prime suspect.

 

Will this by-the-book cop reject everything he believes in to save a woman who could destroy him?

 

Pieces of a Lie is a gripping noir thriller set around the beaches of South Australia.

 

Grab this Ned Kelly Crime Fiction Award nominated book today and get lost in the suspense.
