Murder on Middle Ridge

Love's young dream lay in tatters …

It's the spring of 1902 and things are looking up for brilliant young engineer, Randolph Henry. He's just landed his dream job and his dream girl. But elation soon turns to despair when he finds his sweetheart in the arms of another, and himself on the run, accused of a vicious attack and a brutal murder.

Indomitable publican, Marmie Harris, has just walked down the aisle for the fourth time and is looking forward to quiet retirement in the leafy suburb of Middle Ridge. But her dreams of peace are wrenched away when tragedy comes calling.

Aspiring newspaper editor and frustrated journalist, Chevril Crawley, is lamenting a slow news week when two heinous crimes are committed on his patch, one involving his landlady, Marmie. Soon they find themselves in a race against time to catch a killer.

Former cattle-thief turned respectable citizen, Sturrock, feels he is past his use-by date. Until his old friend Marmie realises that he just might hold the key to solving a murder.

Can this unlikely crime-fighting trio unlock the mystery of the murderer's motives and identity before an innocent man goes to the gallows?
