MURDER AT THE BIKINI LOUNGE

A Harriet Quinn Mystery

IT’S DEATH BY BIKINI MARTINI…

If there’s one thing corporate barrister Harriet Quinn enjoys more than a Friday night drink at the Bikini Lounge, it’s poking her nose where it doesn’t belong.

So, when she sees her former client, Elaine, escorted from her favourite bar in handcuffs, Harriet can’t help but jump in. Elaine may be many things (a tax evader, a b-list tennis star, a jilted wife) but she is not a murderer. Or is she?

As the list of suspects grows and the antics get slipperier than sunscreen in summer, Harriet begins to wonder how far she’ll go to uncover the truth…and whether she’ll catch the real murderer before she’s ruined her career and her client’s chances, forever.

THE PERSIMMON PROMISE

If you were reunited with the child you thought you’d lost forever, how far would you go to ensure you never lost them again?

Dr Odette Henderson is one of few leading female neurosurgeons, dedicated to saving the lives of others. Outwardly, she’s leading a wealthy and successful life. She’s worked hard to keep the emotional wounds of her life locked away – her failed marriage and the late-teen pregnancy that resulted in a pressured adoption.

Hidden in her desk drawer are a series of letters she’s written to her lost daughter, one of which contains a promise that if she ever finds her, she’ll do anything to keep her close. When the unlikely occurs and her daughter appears as a patient in her own spinal clinic, Odette is driven to behave in ways she previously thought unimaginable, risking her career and life as she knows it.
