Innocent Murder

In ‘Innocent Murder’, Investigator Ng and Stella Pentangeli work different sides of the crime fence. Ng’s case is one of triads, sex slavery and murder. Stella’s case is a showbiz trifle – she must discover who is stealing plotlines from the hugely successful soap ‘The Young and the Naked’ and selling the information to a rival channel. Steve J. Spears was a multi-award winning writer and author of the classic Australian play, ‘The Elocution of Benjamin Franklin’. ‘Spears’ novel is a fast-paced, deliciously wicked parody of the world of showbiz. It has everything you could ever want from comic crime fiction – sex, drugs, laughs and a ridiculously high body count.’ – Age Pick of the Week. ‘Like a satire of early James Ellroy – with laughs.’ – Graeme Blundell, Australian (newspaper)
