Praised for its individuality, intelligence and wit - not to mention its twisting, turning, nailbite-enducing plot - this is a fresh and funny debut crime novel featuring sparky heroine Madeline Dare.When fledgling journalist Madeline Dare stumbles on dog tags found at the site of an unsolved double murder, she's not sure she's the right person to write about it. After all, chatty puff-pieces like 1001 Ways with Chicken Wings' are more her speed than an investigative piece on the brutal murder of two young women.But soon Maddie is obsessed by the 'Rose Girls case - so called for the thorny garlands found on the dead women's heads. Eerily, the name on the dog tags is that of her favourite cousin, Lapthorne Townsend, golden boy of a still wealthy branch of Maddie's old-money family.Maddie believes the delightfully droll Lapthorne is innocent of the killings, and sets out on a quest to clear his name. Her investigation triggers a string of grisly new murders, the trail of blood leading right to Maddie's door ...Published to rave reviews in the US and Australia, A Field of Darkness dazzles with its spellbinding narrative, sparky heroine and terrific plot.

Work Description
Madeline Dare would be the first to tell you her money is so old there's none left. A former socialite from an aristocratic family in decline, Maddie is a tough-talking, would-be journalist exiled to the rust belt of upstate New York. Her prospects for changing her dreary lifestyle seem dim--until a set of dog tags found at a decades-old murder site is linked to her family. Shocked into action, Maddie embarks on a search that takes her from the derelict smokestacks of Syracuse to the posh mansions of Long Island's Gold Coast. But instead of the warm refuge of home, this prodigal daughter soon uncovers dark, sinister secrets that will violently challenge everything she believes in and holds dear.
