First book from local first time crime fiction author, Rick Dunlop Cases: The Maclay Murder and other Mysteries arrived for review recently.
From the Blurb:
Ex DI RIck Dunlop is forced to write his memoir for his guidance counsellor after a certain case for the Victorian Police finds him "mentally unfit for active duty" and turns him into a social outcast. Ten months on, he has managed to find gainful employment with Jeff, another cast-off from the ranks of the esteemed men in blue, and now proprietor of Fitzroy Field Investigations.
Opening LInes:
"So, what do you think of this?" Jeff asked me from behind his paper.
"What?" I answered irritably. For an hour I had been sitting in his office, which he continued reading, seemingly totally oblivious to my presence.
