Self-published author Robert M Smith will visit the Wangaratta Library on Thursday, 17 July to discuss his new book, ‘Shark Bait’.
This is the fourth title in Robert’s series centred on homicide detective Greg Bowker. It follows Bowker’s wife Rachael visiting a friend in the seaside town of Port Fairy, where she is physically
assaulted by her abusive first husband, Trevor Flynn, who is running a dubious housing development beside the nearby lough (loch).
Incensed when informed of the assault, Bowker travels to the town, promising anyone who will listen that he’s there to settle the “Flynn problem” once and for all. When Flynn’s shark-ravaged
body washes up on the rocks and forensics indicate he’s been murdered, Bowker’s name immediately goes into the frame.
He is suspended from duty and forced to take leave while his colleagues investigate Flynn’s demise. Did Bowker kill Flynn? And can he stay at arm’s length from a case where he is the number one suspect?
Find out more about the book and Robert’s writing process during his author talk at the library at 6.30pm on Thursday, 17 July.
All books in the series (‘Purgatory’, ‘The Price of Justice’, ‘The Granite’ and ‘Shark Bait’) are available now from Edgars Books & News, or at the event.
Following the talk, Robert will sign copies of his books. Bookings for the event are free, but requested for venue set-up.
