What would it take to turn you into a killer?
Detective Sergeant Kiara Lui has just broken up a loud brawl between two blokes in front of the Warrigal Public Library. But just as she's about to leave the scene, a man inexplicably plummets from the sky and slams into the bike rack right in front of her, dead.
Neville Adams was the head of library services, hated by staff, borrowers, or in fact anybody who had ever met him. Kiara quickly seals the building, trapping everyone who might have pushed him off the roof. She expects to have someone in custody within minutes.
Instead, the investigation becomes the most challenging and dangerous of her career as it spirals outward, ensnaring half the town. It seems that Neville was connected to the disappearance of Emmylou Chisholm - a case that Kiara could never solve, and that has haunted her ever since.
If the killer isn't found fast, the first two victims won't be the last...
Come (dressed in corporate attire) to the Canberra launch party, where there will be drinks, lively conversation, and music by local legend Dana Hassall! Signed copies of Kill Your Boss will be available at the event for $34.99.
