The Della Marsh Notebook. The Della Marsh Notebook Series, #2

Twelve murders. One city. The reporter who never stopped watching. Della Marsh spent thirty years covering Melbourne's courts - every trial, every verdict, every careful lie told under oath. Then she walked away. Three years on Phillip Island later, The Age calls with an offer she tells herself she can refuse. She can't. Covering for injured crime reporter Sandra Okafor, Della returns to the city on a three-month secondment and finds Melbourne killing for her attention.
A poisoned man in a hotel armchair with a rinsed glass on the desk. A barrister dead in his chambers the night before his final trial. Three stolen masterworks moving through a Port Melbourne warehouse. A judge killed in his robing room with the wrong man's gavel placed beside him. An actor who takes his final bow in front of six hundred people and never gets up. Twelve crimes. Twelve Melbourne worlds - the legal precinct, the theatre, the market, the river, the airport tarmac, the hospital, the steps of Flinders Street station.
And one reporter whose thirty years of courtrooms taught her that the most important detail is always the one everyone else filed as incidental. She covered this city for thirty years. Now it's killing for her attention. The Della Marsh Notebook - Melbourne Murders is the second volume in the Della Marsh Notebook Series. Volume One, Small Island Murders, is available now.
