When Tony Berry received an email from a hitherto unheard-of cousin
researching her family history it set him off on an unexpected
journey from his home in Australia to the valleys of Wales, the
mill towns of Yorkshire and the Sussex coast. Along the way - and
hand in hand with his cousin now his partner - he discovered
unknown relatives in New Zealand, Norway and the USA. Stories were
uncovered of abject poverty, sudden workplace deaths, hardship and
perseverance. Instead of the hoped-for landed gentry and honoured
dignitaries they found a family tree of labourers, tidewaiters,
shipwrights, preachers, weavers, cotton pickers, maids, servants
and paupers. This is their story ...written from the author's new
home on the other side of the world.
Reluctant sleuth Bromo Perkins returns to the streets of Richmond,
persuaded by the tempting wiles of Liz Shapcott, to look more
closely into the death of bright young student Melissa O'Grady. As
he bumbles his way into the murky depths of this trendy Australian
suburb, Bromo soon falls foul of devious real estate agents,
housing developers and town planners as he uncovers something far
more sinister than shonky real estate deals. The tentacles of a
cruel and vicious trade in young Asian women drag him into a world
of murder and torture simmering below the surface of a richly
diverse community where he is never more than a few paces away from
his beloved short blacks and a soothing shot of Lagavulin malt.
