Australian mystery and noir

Reviews
These sixteen short stories take the reader across Brisbane, from Morningside to Indooroopilly, from Hamilton to Acacia Ridge. There is baking sun and flooding rains, police procedurals and criminal capers, murderous mermaids and poison pens... all give a ripple of pleasure to the reader who knows Brisbane - or wants to know it - and who has wondered why stories of murder, malice, and magic couldn't be set here. And of course, they should be: Brisbane's shadows are as dark and good to hide in as any in the world - and Subtropical Suspense revels in this. - Stephen M. Irwin, author of The Dead Path and screenwriter of the TV series, Harrow
Each tale is written with an affection for detail that will resonate with people who know Brisbane intimately. It gives readers a broader sense of what could be going on in our neighbours' back yards. Or perhaps it gives us all a greater insight into what could happen if we allow our minds to wander down dark alleyways and turn strange corners. - Tom Snowdon, The Courier-Mail
