I gripped the simple wooden casket that an hour before we had carried in - the casket containing my dear friend Richard Catlin. And a voice said coldly in my head, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself, Karl Landry? Aren't you so ashamed of what you've done?"
When forensic accountant Karl Landry is asked to investigate a suspicious insurance claim, he has no idea that he's about to become embroiled in an international art fraud. Karl discovers burnt fragments of paintings that turn out to be genuine works by Caravaggio and Mondrian. What were these stolen masterpieces doing in a run-down Sydney suburban house? And who is responsible for smuggling them into Australia?
These are questions Detective Inspector Fiona Collins also wants answers to; and Karl is horrified when she seems to suspect his best friend, successful lawyer Richard Catlin, of being involved.
As Richard draws Karl deeper into their own investigation, refusing to report their discoveries to DI Collins, Karl himself starts to question his friend's integrity. But when the moment of betrayal comes, it is Karl who is pushed to the brink of despair. Will he ever forgive himself for doubting his friend and leaving him to die?
Death of a Friend is a thrilling tale of art fraud, corruption, murder and betrayal.
I live on a subtropical island in southern Moreton Bay about an hour's journey from Brisbane, Australia.
I was born in Australia, in Lithgow up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, but my mum whipped me off to New Zealand when I was four (because she couldn't stand her mother-in-law) and Nelson became my home town. Still is.
With my wife, I returned to Australia to live when I was seventy-seven. That makes me an Australian by geography and a New Zealander by culture, a fearsome state of confusion.
I have been a geologist, a teacher, a professional actor and now I come back to the love that was always there, writing. That's my daily pleasure and I hope you enjoy it too.
