'Byron Bay, on Australia's east coast, is a town populated by a curious cross-section of hippies, surfers, backpackers, and celebrities. Whether they come for the area's natural beauty, its relative seclusion from paparazzi, or its relaxed attitude to recreational drug use, the residents of Byron Shire inhabit a curious intersection of money and politics. Michael Wilding's Little Demon is set squarely within that intersection, blending humor, mystery, and conspiracy to create a detective novel with a twist.' (Introduction)
