WATTYS2024 SHORTLIST | 6 x FEATURED 
When a brash, rich woman, washes ashore, in a quiet country town, with a knife sticking out of her back, she promises something. A darn good story, and a chance to get out of dodge for the young inspector. But will he solve his first crime, or will he mix business with pleasure and learn to regret the whole thing? 

***
Devi Dhungel is broken. She's bruised. And she appears to be dead! 

When she washes ashore on the beach of a secular country town, gossip flutters: π‘Šβ„Žπ‘œ 𝑖𝑠 𝘴𝘩𝘦? π‘Šβ„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘€π‘Žπ‘  π‘ β„Žπ‘’ π‘‘π‘œπ‘–π‘›π‘” 𝑖𝑛 Mystery Cove? π»π‘œπ‘€ 𝑑𝑖𝑑 π‘ β„Žπ‘’ 𝑔𝑒𝑑 β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ˜¦? 𝐡𝑒𝑑 π‘€π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘ π‘’, π‘€β„Žπ‘œ π‘œπ‘› π‘’π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘‘β„Ž π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘’π‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ π‘˜π‘–π‘™π‘™ β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘€β„Žπ‘¦? 

Questions that also plague the lonely-yet-handsome town inspector, Hector Juan Martinez. For a man who's been searching for a little oomph in his life, Devi Dhugel brings it in spades. For him, solving the biggest crime to land on his lap could secure a promotion, or at least get him a transfer out of boreville. It's a doable task for the kind-hearted cop if only the victim of the attempted murder would stop lying about being some hotshot author he's never heard of and tell him the real story. Or he may be tempted to get rid of her himself, damn the promotion!

This is Murder on the Orient Express, without the murder, of course. And only one man can solve it. Hector Martinez. But first, he's got to figure out what he's doing.
