Kiss of Death - Purchase now at Heritage Press
Murderous impulses, cunning women, and a terrifying plague. What could possibly go wrong?
It’s 1918, in a Wellington that few people would recognise today, and two major events are about to collide: the signing of the Armistice to end World War I, and he soldier-borne plague we now call the Spanish flu. Into this comes Wellington’s only female lawyer, leading her group Sapphist friends as they attempt to strike a blow for Women’s freedom. They go head-to-head with the authorities while she finds herself acting as Crown prosecutor in the case of a wealthy socialite’s “murder” of her husband by kissing him.
