AbstractHistoryArchive Description

It's party time at Berry & Michaels, one of Australia's oldest book publishers. The company is celebrating its recent takeover and the most important Berry & Michaels authors are coming from all over the country. Quentin Hale, the company's new Managing Director from England, thinks this party will be marvellous publicity, but some of the staff don't seem to be in a celebratory mood. Then the murders begin.
