1 y separately published work icon Death in the Rainy Season Anna Jaquiery , Australia : Pan Macmillan Australia , 2015 9639502 2015 single work novel crime

'Phnom Penh, Cambodia; the rainy season. When a French man, Hugo Quercy, is found brutally murdered, Commandant Serge Morel finds his holiday drawn to an abrupt halt. Quercy - dynamic, well-connected - was the magnetic head of a humanitarian organization which looked after the area's neglected youth. Opening his investigation, the Parisian detective soon finds himself buried in one of his most challenging cases yet. Morel must navigate this complex and politically sensitive crime in a country with few forensic resources, and armed with little more than a series of perplexing questions: what was Quercy doing in a hotel room under a false name? What is the significance of his recent investigations into land grabs in the area? And who could have broken into his home the night of the murder? Becoming increasingly drawn into Quercy's circle of family and friends - his adoring widow, his devoted friends and bereft colleagues - Commandant Morel will soon discover that in this lush land of great beauty and immense darkness, nothing is quite as it seems . . . '

'errance n. 1 the act of travelling from one place to another without any clear destination 2 a wandering of the mind

'The eleventh edition of Monash University’s creative writing annual collects itinerant stories and poems that draw their energy from travel, in-between spaces, and the unknown.

'Characters travel from country to country, or drift between borders; they don’t know where they are. Poems buzz in the liminal space between knowing and being. They delight in the incommensurable. Mars, Iraq, sex, death, thinking statues, vulgar tourists, journeys to the underworld, insects, geometry, music, the abject and the rapturous are all invited.

'Verge 2015 includes works from established and emerging writers from Australia and around the world.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon The Lying Down Room Anna Jaquiery , Australia : Picador , 2014 8627872 2014 single work novel crime

'At night Armand lay in bed with a sadness in his heart that ballooned until there was room for nothing else.

'He thought with horror of the lying-down room . . .

'Paris; in the stifling August heat, Commandant Serge Morel is called to a disturbing crime scene. An elderly woman has been murdered to the soundtrack of Faure's Requiem, her body then grotesquely displayed.

'At first this strange case seems to offer few clues; and Morel has problems of his own. His father - always a great force in his life - is beginning to succumb to senility; and he is unsettled by the reappearance of the beautiful Mathilde, the woman he once loved. Only origami can help calm the detective and focus his thoughts on this troubling crime.

'As the investigation progresses, the key suspects to emerge are a middle-aged man and a mute teenage boy who have been delivering religious pamphlets in the city's suburbs. But as more elderly ladies are targeted, Morel will find his enquiries leading him back into the past, from the French countryside to Soviet Russia - and to two young boys with the most terrible of stories to tell . . .'
