β¦ Synopsis
Meet young Joe Horseman. How much will he risk to save his dead heroβs honour?
Horseman idolises rugby captain Seru, who plucked him from the crowd of hopeful freshers to place him in his Fiji universityβs top team. So when Horseman finds Seruβs corpse in the changing shed he vows to help investigate. But the police refuse to pass him the ball. Even his friends and Coach send him to the sidelines. Could his idol have feet of clay? To save Seru's honour, Horseman defies the rules and charges ahead.
Death of a Hero is the prequel to the Fiji Islands Mysteries series. Set in 1990s Suva, the young Horsemanβs first case is not only a twisty whodunit that will have you reaching for your thinking cap, but a sensitive coming-of-age story that will touch your heart.
