Duplicity Pamela Murray

Is the truth stranger than fiction?

Newly retired Hannah Sanderson loves reading crime novels so when her favourite author, Jonas Burke, comes to town for a book signing, she wants to meet him. However, when she starts reading his latest novel, she finds that one of the crimes featured in it is too close to home.

When DS Sally Fielding discovers that her police officer father died as a result of being tasered, which caused his heart attack, she is shocked. But when Hannah Sanderson goes on to explain that his death is described in intricate detail in a novel she has recently read, Sally's suspicions are raised, and she begins an investigation.

With a small team in place, Sally and her colleagues cross-reference all the descriptions of Burke's fictitious crimes with cases in the police database.

Will DS Fielding be able to solve the mystery before anyone else gets hurt?

And is the truth really stranger than fiction?
