Black Heart

By Josef Peeters

When a gruesome murder shocks the small cane farming community of Ingham, Queensland, Detective Arnold Ryan feels it more keenly than most, since the victim is an old friend. Ryan's vow to apprehend the culprit intensifies when a second incident, bearing all the trademarks of the first, leaves another friend dead.

Realising his prime suspect has cause to hate him and his friends, Ryan must act quickly to prevent further bloodshed. Moreover, an escalation by the serial killer may uncover a dark secret that the township--and Ryan--would rather leave buried.

After a lacklustre education spent in numerous schools across Queensland, Josef left at age fifteen to begin work as an assistant projectionist in the original Regent Theatre in Brisbane, before it became a multi-screen complex. Josef has followed artistic pursuits in performance, literary, and sculptural genres without ever gaining success or notoriety in any field. He now continues to write and self-publish for his own benefit and pleasure while maintaining a Caravan Park business with his second wife at Moulamein NSW, Australia.
