Thrill City

Thrill City

Thrill City is the latest offering from Leigh Redhead, the creator of the fabulous Simone Kirsch series.

Ex-stripper, sleuth and bad girl Simone Kirsch PI, is back in the business and before she has time to open a cheap bottle of champagne to celebrate the opening of her very own detective agency, she's up to her neck in lethal fun and games.

It all starts off quite innocently, when bestselling crime novelist Nick Austin wants to shadow her as research for his new novel. But the day after he and his ex-wife and her new lover appear on the same panel at the writer's festival, his ex-wife ends up brutally murdered and Nick disappears, throwing Simone into a world of trouble.

Thrill City sees Simone facing the toughest case of her career within the Australian literary and crime writing world.

Leigh Redhead burst onto the crime fiction stage in 2004 with Peep Show, her first Simone Kirsch novel, followed by Rubdown (2005) and Cherry Pie (2007). This smart, sexy and strong-minded protagonist is closely modeled on the author, herself an Adelaide born stripper turned bestselling author.

Peep Show and Rubdown saw her nominated for The Sydney Morning Herald's Best Young Australian Novelist and winning the Sister's in Crime Davitt Reader's Choice Award in 2005 and 2006.
