MYSTERY NOVEL

My first novel in progress — Jane Bardot — is a mystery story. It’s set in the surroundings of Scarborough, Western Australia, and goes back to the rock ‘n’ roll, “Snake Pit” era of 1956.

The body of an unusual, young woman is found abandoned among the tourists on Perth’s iconic Scarborough beach. Red lipstick, desert boots, and a navy chiffon scarf, she’s a girl from a different time, and nobody knows who she is except for one old man. He claims she’s his wife who went missing in 1956.

Detective Ryan Price, coffee-swilling insomniac and no-time legend, is assigned to the high-profile case. If he wants to keep his job, he needs to prove himself, but he’s immediately pulled in a direction he can’t explain. Who is this missing woman and could the body on the beach really be her? Will Price will overcome his obsession with the past and solve the case?

More whoisit than whodunnit, my book explores how today’s reality is constructed from layers of the past and from the stories existing within it. We learn things are not always what they seem, and not everything can be explained by logic.
