Barossa Street

Barossa Street

Barossa Street

29/01/2023 by Rob.McInroy

20th January 1936, and King George V is dying.

The same day, Bob Kelty accompanies a friend to the house of a local recluse. There, they find Hugh Smithson brutally murdered in his bed.

Horror turns to nightmare as Bob’s friend, Richard Hamill, comes under suspicion of the murder and Bob reluctantly becomes embroiled, once more, in the investigation of a terrible crime in 1930s Perth. Gradually, he begins to uncover the truth, and it is something nobody expected…

Set against the backdrop of the abdication crisis and the looming shadow of war, Barossa Street  examines the prejudices of 1930s society and their impact on the justice system. Will they lead to a miscarriage of justice?

Or will Bob save the day?

‘Dark and sinister, it will keep you guessing until you reach the last page.’ CL Taylor, Novelist.

Barossa Street is the follow-up to the CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger award longlisted novel, Cuddies Strip.

Barossa Street can be purchased here
