Murder on North Terrace is out now - available in all bookstores and online.
Six months after solving the Dora Black case, Kate Cocks and Ethel Bromley are back walking the beat. Their city is in a dark place. Winter won’t leave, soldiers are returning from the Front, and now a powerful board governor has been found dead in the Art Gallery – dumped beneath a scandalous nude portrait that has attracted both pious outrage and record crowds.
When Ethel receives an anonymous tip, she’s elated at being seconded to the Detective Branch: the murder goes to the heart of Adelaide’s elite where this society girl is in her element. Miss Cocks is left grappling with six o’clock swills, shadows in alleyways and a brutal assault on a schoolgirl. She needs Ethel to catch her killer and quickly.
Alas, murder in Adelaide is never a simple affair…
Inspired by the true story of Australia’s pioneering policewoman, Kate Cocks.
