Murder @ Play (Echelon Press, 2009)

Murder mystery

EVERY MARRIAGE NEEDS A TOUCH OF MYSTERY. OR DOES IT?

In the new free South Africa of 1994, men are still boss, women carry handguns for self-protection, and some mistakes can change your life forever.

When a body is found during their weekend away with friends, Christine Chamberlain must use her brilliant mathematical mind to prove her husband's innocence...

... whether he's innocent or not.

When it comes to your loved ones, is it possible to know too much?

Excerpt

   Prelude–Pretoria, October 1994
Chapter 1

Anonymous letters are always a cliché. In South Africa, they can also be deadly.

This one would contain no explosives or wires.


Just a plain envelope and a photocopy of words cut out from newspapers.


How many copies?


Five. One for every guy at the Election Day after-party.


Or perhaps only four?


Yes, that would be truly brilliant. Only four.
