Be Among the First to Uncover the Truth!
What if the man hired to solve a murder is the most dangerous person in the room? What if justice is just a mask for vengeance, and every clue uncovered only deepens the darkness?
Prepare to be transported to the sun-drenched, oppressive heat of 1890s Fiji in my upcoming historical mystery, Villain’s Murder. This is a novel where a single death exposes a web of secrets stretching from the manicured lawns of a colonial estate to the bustling backstreets of Calcutta, and we are looking for a select group of readers to experience it before anyone else!
I am thrilled to announce that applications for Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) are officially open!
This Book Is For You If You Love:
- Atmospheric Historical Mysteries: Think the intricate plotting of Agatha Christie set against the lush, volatile backdrop of the British Empire.

- A Web of Family Secrets: This is a story where everyone has something to hide, a motive for murder, and a past they'd do anything to keep buried.
- Post-Colonial Fiction: The novel delves deep into the tensions between colonizers and the colonized, exploring themes of injustice, power, and cultural clashes.
The Blurb:
In colonial Fiji, kindness can be bought, but vengeance costs nothing.
When wealthy landowner Sir Richard Westfield is found dead, Inspector Daniel is forced to partner with Captain Blackwood, an ex-soldier haunted by his past in India. The investigation quickly spirals beyond a crime of passion into a conspiracy woven through the dark heart of the British Empire—from the manicured sugarcane fields of Fiji to the backstreets of Calcutta.
As the detectives drive deeper, they must confront not only cunning killers but their own demons. Where justice chooses sides, the greatest villain may not stand before you—but rise from within you.
