    • The elite neighborhoods of Sydney are becoming a serial killer's hunting ground. But for a city--and a detective--on the edge, not everything is as it seems in a twisting novel of suspense. During a stifling summer in Sydney, the body of a chaplain's daughter is found wrapped in black plastic on the deserted grounds of an elite boarding school. Is it the work of the killer who's been stalking the privileged neighborhoods along the Parramatta River? Gut instinct tells Detective Sergeant Rose Riley something even more devious might be at play. Eager to find the so-called Blue Moon Killer before he strikes again, Riley forms an uneasy alliance with Adam Bowman, a journalist with a valuable, and unsettling, link to the school's history. As Riley's investigation takes her deep into the secret lives of Sydney's prominent citizens, Bowman delves into the darkest places of his own childhood for answers. When their paths converge, Riley must use every bit of her cunning to stop another murder. Excavating Bowman's past might just be the key to unlocking the case. Or it could prove to be Riley's undoing. Because clue by clue she's being pulled into the sights of a killer.

    • Michael Jackson, a life shrouded in controversy. Idolized by millions, yet several accusations blemished his career.I can't address virtuoso. It relies upon how you characterize it. Michael Jackson was a dynamic entertainer. He brought many innovative ideas into the pop world. He was a brilliant vocalist and was a fussbudget in his art. He was diligent in his pursuits and he acquired the best and most talented people to work alongside him. He was one of the most talented musicians that has ever existed. He was also a controversial figure and sensational news seemed to follow him around. Whether you believe the allegations made against him or not, his virtuoso is undeniable. He almost certainly had an unhealthy obsession with children, whether it was sexual or not is down to the individual to decide. It's perfectly plausible that you see it in the context that he was a grown-up man who favored the company of children, that he saw himself as an everlasting adolescent, and his actions were out of nothing more than love and devotion to children. In this context, I don't think it's an overstatement to suggest he was fixated on adolescence to the point of being a disabled grown-up. In this book, we will look at his career, his love life, his relationship with his father and family, the media coverage, the criminal cases and accusations that followed him, and ultimately, his death.
